Has already been recapped and plays great. I don't have a pic of it yet, but here's a link below with one like it...

There was a nice late 30's Philco console I wanted, but was concerned about getting it back to the ship, up the gangway, and then home once the ship makes it back to Texas. Oh well... the Model 60 is a nice set and i will enjoy it. I'll post a pic of mine once I get home next in another week. |
Small world - I've got family in Kalama. I've spent many hours fishing the lower Columbia and always enjoy seeing the big ships. Gotta watch out for the wakes.
