Well... actually...
yes!
I passed on a GE Locomotive in nice shape and a Bakelite Teletone with a small crack. There was also a Motorola VK-101 that I would love to have but the cabinet was in bad shape, the feet were also missing and they would be hard to repro.
The Hoffman has a date penciled on the bottom of 5/80! Someone was having this set repaired as late as that.
That probably is why it's in such good shape.
I got it working somewhat by cleaning the HV cage, it was arcing under the 1B3, also HV doesn't make it to the anode unless I bypass the resistor and doorknob, did this by jamming a screwdriver in under the 1B3
.
A little shrunk but not bad considering.
