I have bout two of the 7 inch Admiral Bakelite tabletop models on two separate occasions and they were both damaged in shipping. I imagine if one can be found locally and transported by car there would not be a problem. I have never had a problem with my Bakelite radios breaking even with the occasional accidental knock.
