Here's a few hits for you.....rather all over the board with prices, anywhere from $425 to $800 asking prices.

WOW - I have no idea of value but just wanted to say this is gorgeous! I used to have an old cabinet radio that I gave away to a family member when I moved out of state.  Not being much of a TV watcher, it was a treat on Sunday's to sit down next to the fire and listen to oldtime radio shows that a local station would re-broadcast.  Memories.... ;D

Thanks guys!! It's certainly one of our favorites, i did some reading apprently they made another model that was very similar.. When i say we have about 400 old radios, i mean it and this is our favorite so far!! We just bought this one in a big lot, it was in the bottom of a box lot, we went to take it to the car and thought what is so heavy in this box??? come to find out it was the Buddy Boy!! I was stoked to sat the least..

Anyways, thanks for all the great replies and comments guys, i love this forum  ;D
