Good thread! RadioTVnut.
I often wonder if the work I put into a tube radio (100% paper/safety/electrolytic caps, replace bad tubes, add fuse/thermistor and hot-chassis-rewire/polarized plug and clean-polish) is worth getting only "market price", which seems based on something that looks good but little else guaranteed.
Dollarwise, a 1950s-60s 5-toober plastic AM set requires almost as much as a 1930s-40s wood cabinet table model with a shortwave band or two.
