Regardless of what it is worth, I am very happy to have found this little radio. For one thing, I really do love the little compact radios of the pre-war era, but it's always been easier to find consoles rather than the compacts! I also consider myself very lucky. The last catalin radio that came up for sale near me sold for $900 about five years back. Here I am, a person working in a grocery store and I now own a radio that I thought I could never own. Always thought I would be able to own a Philco 38-690 or stumble on a cheap Scott (that almost happened years back..) before I would ever have a catalin sitting on a shelf in my bedroom. I get a goofy grin every time I look at it.
