Ok so I saw this just listed and thought it was really nice so I hit BIN.

I went back and scrutinized the pics and realized the grill was horribly repaired in many places. Also the dial was painted by what looks like a 5 year old. The desc. said noting and there was no close up of the grill.

I know I should have looked better before buying it but I went by the description.

Now I dont feel it is worth almost $200.00

I emailed him for grill pics but do you guys thing this radio is worth $200.00 as it is?

I know, if I like it then it is worth it. I was probably gonna resell it after restoring it so Is it worth the money.
