Is this too much money?

[Charlie]

Today as I was driving home from my cabin, I decided to stop in a little antique store that I always pass. Usually, I either dont have enough time to stop, or, the shop is closed when I go by.

A Philco 37-60 cathedral caught my eye instantly. The price was 175.00 which looked like a markdown because another price was marked out... and so well that I couldn't tell what it was. The card that was with the radio said the caps and lytics were replaced and tubes checked. Card also said radio plays very well on both AM and SW. The cabinet was in good condition. It wasn't like new, but i didn't see any damage to it. I would say it looked nice enough to display. It seemed that the weakest part of the set was the speaker cloth.

Being that I was in the store for a WHOLE 30 MINUTES and no shop owner ever came in, I wasn't able to ask any questions. Mainly I wanted to hear the radio play, but didn't want to plug it in with the shop owner there. Hell, I could have walked out with it!

I found a photo of one here... http://www.electronixandmore.com/rad...hilco37-60.jpg

You guys think 175 is too high for this? It's not like new, but, it's in pretty decent shape and apparently has new caps. Of course, I won't buy it without hearing it first... if I find a salesperson next time I go in!
