Any of you old radio buffs know anything about an old Lafayette model L5 deluxe lowboy radio?
Has a 12 tube chassis and 2 speakers.
Are these radios any good?
Are they worth anything?
I found out that they were just offered for sale in catalogs etc.
The one I am looking at is in real nice shape as far as the cabinet goes.
The radio is not working.Just humms.Probably needs caps etc.
I try to have a mix of different radios.There are so many really neat radios outh there.
I am running out of room though.These consoles take up alot of room.
Right now I have Philco,Radiola/Electrola,RCA,Zenith,Majestic,G.E and Stewart Warner.
Probably should have a Lafayette too.
What do you guy's think?
