Oh boy, look what showed up you know where:

Nothing like pondering over, looking over and drooling over what is arguably the most desirable and/or collectable radio of all time. Damn! Forget dreams of owning such a beauty, I'd pay to just look at one. Speaking of pay, I'd like to have more than auction text to assure me that nothing more than (possibly) tubes or a re-cap is necessary to play before I shell out 72-large. Way more.

Sure would be fun to pull the trigger on that 25-tube flamethrower though! Anyone care for tea and cigars before we see what's playing over in Belgium, Zurich or Australia?

That sure would look good in my house, Of course I'd have to sale the house to afford it, and then I'd have sell the Radio to afford the divorce lawyer. Oh well. I keep hoping I will find one of those is fair to decent shape, for a hell of a lot less than 72K. LOL

I keep an empty space in my "collection room " for mine

Yikes, and that Buy It Now price, that it sold for--what a beauty!
