Really,thanks alot..I am 62 and I am as excited as if I were 17.

Nice machine from 1928 I believe. I think it has a 50 power amplifier tube, which is expensive. If you paid the full asking price, I hope it's in tip top shape. The ad doesn't mention anything about the playing condition of the radio and phono. Usually that means it doesn't work.

I have about 45 globe ux250s in stock that I have been saving for the last 40 years and have restored a dozen radiola 64 electrolas and panatropes over the years. With about 15 spare amplifiers and chassis AP777-C, I will be good top go.
I had Milwaukee Resistor replicate the two large wirewound resistors underneath
so I do not have to mess with making up values from separate units. Restored the first of my two 9-54s in 1977 and still going strong!
