Ah, I hate when you find something that you've looked for a long time and then it has a crazy price tag on it. I would definitely cut my phono to put the Radiola IX in it, but the chance of finding a junker with a good radio is pretty slim. I actually like the rather "steampunk" look of this set-up with the two units and Barkalew antenna switch.
