    You could definitely make some money on the radios and the flash bulbs. Start with an Ebay search and see what similar things sold for. The red radio is the coolest looking piece. I would keep that one if it were me. Nice score!

    When you look on ebay make certain to check the "sold" listings. Mike.

    If those radios work you have some $$$ they are very collectable more so on the small one in the leather caes. If the 8-track works it could also be worth some $$ but it's hard to test if you don't have the tapes to go in it. Us old farts used them 8-tracks before casette tapes came out. I used to have two, one in my car and one in my bedroom. Nice find and thanx for the pics.
