Good for you. I figured you'd know better but I still warn people about shit like that just in case. Burning electronics is a smell best done without, not to mention other possible attendant hazards.

That one in the video is 511, not a 510. Still about the same age though. There was a previous model (also not a 510 though) made in `49 that I read has a mahogany or oak cabinet. That one would be worth a lot for sure.

I remember a friend who's dad had a wooden cabinet console type RCA multi-band radio with phonograph and that thing looked so awesome and we had loads of fun fiddling around on the sort wave bands too.

When I was a teenager me and a buddy started doing DX (distance) AM radio listening. We used the good ol' 5-tube radios but tweaked them to perfection and built our own external antennas. Up late at night tuning far, far away stations in Africa and Asia from the ionospheric skip. Skip is always better at night due to less interference from the sun.
