The sellers are asking big bucks for radios that don't even work! I saw one radio that was listed on Ebay today and the seller said they plugged it in and didn't hear anything. The photos revealed that the tubes were missing!
I think I am going back to the radio club here in town. At each meeting they have a swap meet & buy & sell. They have radios there for cheap. A lot of those guys see these radios at garage sales & estate sales and buy them for just a few bucks just to save them like members here save washers & dryers. A lot of them get rid of them with the "i've had it for quite a few years, but never got around to it and the wife wants me to unload some of this "junk" as she calls it".
Here is a link to a seller that seems to specialize in old radios and is trying to charge a premium price for non working radios. He seems to be flooding Ebay with them. This radio for example MAY go for his asking price IF it was working properly. But it is not. Maybe I should just be thankful that they aren't calling these old radios "Eames Era"!
