I just found out that this radio was originally his grandmother's. For many years now, it has been on a shelf at his parents' house. He got the radio a couple of years ago and always thought it was somewhat unique. He's never really been aware of what it's value was. He figured it was somewhat rare because he had never seen another one like it.

He told me the radio hadn't been played for at least 20 years, so I told him to keep it that way till he gets someone to go thru the set. I explained to him that it was a rare set, and could be worth a good bit. He says he'll probably check into getting someone to go thru the wiring later on. In the meantime, it will continue to look interesting where it sits.

I pointed him towards some sites that deal with these, so I'm sure he'll find the info useful.
