Don't believe it. They are 50 years old and need a lot of work to be
reliable. If they don't have all of the coupling capacitors replaced
you will be buying a lot of tubes.

One other problem that I found to be fairly common with these sets is
dirty contacts on the "line plug operated" switch that transfers between
AC and battery operation.


Not to mention the crumbling plastic and brittle wire.
