Hank van Cleef reminds us that antique stores often have a few old radios and telephones, for atmosphere if nothing else. Don't expect any bargains, for the most part. These dealers are in business to make money. They typically price radios at or above the book values given in the collector guides. And since the dealer is not necessarily knowledgeable about electronics, the set is usually offered 'as is', without any form of guarantee.
