I really like the look of a Columnaire; never seen one in person that was in really decent condition. I passed on one 20 years ago, similar condition to yours but they wanted $65.

I got mine for free from the same person that I bought my Meck TV from for $5 and surprisingly enough the chassis in this radio is actually extremely clean for as rough of shape as the cabinet was in (the person I got the TV and this radio from found both of them in an old farm house that the roof had collapsed on it 20 years ago and the TV was in extremely good shape for being in an old house with no roof for 20 years, same for the radio (except for the cabinet which was completely shot).
