Looks great. Southern Illinois https://www.ebay.com/itm/393330157199
Unfortunately a bit too far away for me to pick it up.

The seller says "It is missing the screen that goes in front of the horn"
That's a dealer-killer unfortunately for most.

Why would that be a "deal killer"? It looks better without it, leaving the wood horn exposed...barnettrp21122 wrote: Thu May 20, 2021 9:41 am The seller says "It is missing the screen that goes in front of the horn"

It's also missing the lid supports. Other than that, and the missing grill, it looks pretty nice.

What's a "reasonable price" for a nice, complete Cortez these days?
I can remember the good ol' days when Credenzas often fetched > $1000. Nowadays, it seems that many Credenzas are in the $250-$450 range. Have the realized prices for a Cortez sunk as much as the price of a Credenza has? Just curious.

Some years ago I paid about $325 for mine, and was thrilled. If I were to end up "needing" one today, I would probably agree to pay up to maybe $600 for a nice one. If it were super nice, maybe more... But, that's just me.AZ* wrote: Thu May 20, 2021 5:34 pmWhat's a "reasonable price" for a nice, complete Cortez these days?
