What to do with my Philco
#7

Thank you everyone for your input. Maybe I will keep it, I don't know. I'm still on the fence. I guess I don't have that much sentimental value attached to this as it wasn’t something my grandfather had very long. He bought and sold old radios, along with records, for extra money after he retired. I am pretty decent with fixing things, although I've never tackled something of this age before.
If I did decide to sell it where should I start? Is craigslist a decent place to list these? It seems as if most of you gentlemen are on the east coast, is there a west coast radio forum I should look into? We have a few antique malls around, how are they in general?
Ha ha, I also try to barter for things when my wife buys things, though mostly it seems to either be tools or parts for my motorcycles.
