Your saying about breaking even reminded me:
A few years ago when I was first getting into radios, I put an ad on Craigslist offering to fix your radio for free-less the cost of materials. I stated I just wanted to have something to work on, my payment being the enjoyment of spending time fixing your radio. I also stated something along the lines of if you have ever wanted to have grandpa's old radio running like new again, this would probably be your only chance to get this done for cheap.
Well, I got plenty of responses, ALL of them from different folks saying I have an XXXX radio, what will you pay me for it? Almost all of them (that were legit tube models) were BOTL Philco consoles, maybe that is why I have such a distaste for them...
