An excellent score on about a nice of an original example as I've ever seen. I've researched this model more than any vintage radio and TV! Many discussions here and on ARF. In the '90's they were approaching the $2K mark, but the Net, like with all other antiques, revealed that it wasn't as rare as once thought. Myself and other collectors I've spoken to still feel it was devalued too much. It's still not an easy set to acquire and it's one of the best on all points. The small brass cover on the escutcheon should be very easy to recreate with brass shim stock. Good luck with it.
PS - I'm wondering if it's the walnut finish version. It could be by the look of the grain on the front. If it is, those are less seen than the mahogany versions.
