I think $75 would be okay if it was complete and the cabinet was in good shape. Be careful plugging in the radio though, it could blow up. Capacitors in it dry up and short out or absorb moisture and short out. I did a Motorola battery radio last year and ALL the coupler capacitors were dead shorted. I would bring it up on a variac or use a dim bulb tester (or both) if possible.

I picked up a '36 Philco farm radio, and I did a full recap before I applied power (and still burned a resistor)
