Hi, just purchased the above radio today in mint condition and all works. AM FM. Golden Throat Label on Back, Model and Serial number labels on the bottom, can give you serial number if it helps. Wondered the price range it was worth. Saw one kind of like it for $20 and another for $200. approx 2 ft wide and 1 ft deep, has all knos and we are listening to it now. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Sandy

Radios like these are usually worth more intrinsically than extrinsically. Your earlier search gives you a real good indication of the price range. You can probably find a schematic for it in the Rider collection if you need it. Chances are, if it hasn't been used in a while the capacitors are probably bad. The tubes may still work though. Power it on and give it a try. Check the power cord and make sure it isn't frayed though first.
