Dan you brute. by the way how's that Scott Imperial Allwave. Those are nice
looking sets. I got a real nice 1937 Zenith shutter dial console that sound
great.

It's doing great, considering it's almost 70 years old. I had it
electrically restored (capped and such) and the cabinet re-finished
about 10 years ago. At the time, it was not working. I was offered
$800 for it as it was by the guy who restored it. I politely declined.

The real kicker is I paid - wait for it - $5 for it at a neighborhood
garage sale in 1970 or thereabouts. I pulled it home in a red wagon,
and it worked at the time! I had no idea how rare they are, I just
thought it was cool. I saw one go for over $5000 on eBay last year.

It works really well, with great sound. The chrome is pretty good but
not perfect. No rust anywhere. I have a complete set of spare tubes
also, bought 2 or 3 at a time over the years.
