Kutztown update!

[leadlike]

I was there today. If you have some serious cash, there are plenty of great console radios to choose from. I also spotted a great set of Bozaks as well. My personal favorite was an early RCA superhet in what looks like a converted Victrola cabinet. The hot thing most dealers seem to be looking for are hi-fi tube setups.

I was really looking for a 10" b&w set to work on, and while there were a few at the show, none were really in great shape. I thought I found my dream set for what was a slightly high, but still reasonable price. But as I was pulling my money out, I spotted a toasted flyback, which had the seller change his story from "this is in great shape" to "oh, I'm selling this for a friend" to finally "well, it's really being sold so you can put a new tv into the cabinet." I found an okay metal tabletop that the seller quoted $450 dollars for, so I left the show empty-handed this year.

On the way home, I stopped by a tiny thrift shop and found some CED discs in good shape, so that lessened the sting of having a full wallet a bit.
