That radio was quite a prize - If the economy had been even a little better, there would have been a buying frenzy.
As a reminder, here is a handy chart translating private party eBay "described" condition vs. "actual" condition:
Perfect = not perfect
Mint = Fairly good, you might use it, worth keeping as a spare
Very good = barely usable as a spare if you get hit or yours breaks
good = maybe repairable/refinishable, probably junk
fair = junk
Additional descriptions for chrome:
Mint = slightly pitted
Slightly pitted = very pitted
Needs refinishing = beyond refinishing
Slight peeling = you will cut yourself while handling it
