What do y'all think about this asking price?

The guy is lying about the condition, claims it's been in the box. Only if someone's been in the box with it cranking the channel knob for the last 40 years - the paint's worn clear off. Also not sure what's going on with the VHF antenna terminals. I can't imagine those little ceramic caps soldered in place are from the factory.

Good eye! I also love the way you wrote that. Just noticed near the bottom of the eBay description they claim 'collectors' offered $3,000 for the set. I find that excruciatingly hard to believe.

Note it's collectors plural case...If he takes the sum of 100 different $30 offers it makes an even $3k.

Looks like it was to couple the UHF to the rod antennas. Cooda just
bent a coat hanger loop.
Well it did give some comic relief
