I wonder if any of you have experiences w/this set- good or bad, & about what they are worth. Fellow sez its in good shape,& has better audio than a 390 or 390A. Does it have any unobtainium tubes, like the 3TF7s or anything like that? I would appreciate any & all comments, suggestions, etc. -Sandy G.

Sandy:

If the radio is in good shape, buy it.  I looked for a good example for
years and found one about a year ago.  Side-by-side with the '390, it
holds it's own!
