The bad news... it's worth less than half of what the '30s models are... maybe a few hundred at best (but condition looks so-so... probably less) The '40s models used rubber wiring that MUST be replaced - all of it - before it's safe to use. Also, not all that beautiful veneer is real... some of it is printed and can't be refinished if it's damaged.
