No remorse over Admiral Bakelite console

[Phil Nelson]

As I was leaving today's Seattle radio swap, I spied this Admiral in a Bakelite console cabinet. No cracks in the cabinet, chassis looked reasonable, CRT untested, no back.





The owner was asking $200. Since I'm "not really buying anything" these days, I looked it over and offered $80, which the seller declined. While I stood there, someone else walked up and offered $125. The seller gave me a chance to go higher, but I said no and the other dude hauled it home.

At $80, I could have explained that it was too cheap to pass up. But we really don't have room for it, and I figure I earned at least $80 worth of Good Husband Points by not coming home with anything
