Elsewhere, that post just made me laugh. I don't know what it is, but my cat loves my console radio too. I don't allow them behind the radio, but they love to sit on top of the console.
Glad your beautiful radio wasn't damaged.

He only played Ernest T. five times? Wow! I didn't know that. But, I guess that makes sense.
I too loved the ep. when Andy and Barney tried to teach him manners.
"How dooo youuu dooo Mrs. Wiiileeey". "I ain't no creeethurrr".
What a great character that was. -

I also love the old TV comedies. (as well as the old radio shows). Good clean humor. They did a lot of true comedy back then and didn't have to resort to cursing or shock to get a laugh.
I was a little too young for Your Show of Shows, but I've seen some of them recently on TV. Now, there was some funny stuff. -

To answer your original question, Antique tube radio's generally go for anywhere from $100 to $500, depending on the condition.
It looks like you got yourself a great deal!!
Also, make use of the shortwave funtion of your radio. Lot's of good stuff on Shortwave. -

Great topic. I have 2 Philco antique radio's. I have a Philco Model 40-180 Console very similar to yours and a Philco model 610 tombstone model. Both work beutifully.
Even though you have a Montgomery Wards, there are several web sites that have a lot of information on parts for antique radio's.
WWW.philcorepairbench.com is a great website and has good sources for tubes and stuff.
This might be a good starting point for your research.
Also, you might want to consider buying a small AM Transmitter kit. I use that to listen to Old Time radio shows on my Antique radio. It comes with RCA jacks that will hook onto your stereo, computer, boom box, or whatever and transmits your MP3 files to your radio. Brings a whole new dimension to the world of old time radio.
Enjoy your radio. This is one of my favorite hobbies. -

I can't find a news link to the article, but several usenet groups have reported that Actor/Director Howard Morris passed away.
Howard Morris had to be one of the funniest character actors ever. His most famous was Ernest T Bass from the Andy Griffith Show.
Actor and director Howard Morris has died at age 85.
Howard appeared with the Three Stooges in STAR SPANGLED SALESMAN
(1968), directed by Norman Maurer. Mr. Morris directed WHO'S MINDING
THE MINT? (1967), which was produced by Norman Maurer and featured Emil
Sitka and Jeffrey Maurer in cameo roles. He also directed WITH SIX YOU
GET EGGROLL (1968); originally Joe Besser was a member of the cast, but
at costar Brian Keith's insistence, Howard had the unfortunate task of
recasting Joe's role (with Vic Tayback).
Howard Morris is probably best-known as Ernest T. Bass on THE ANDY
GRIFFITH SHOW. Regardless, he considered his career highlight to be
the years he spent working on YOUR SHOW OF SHOWS and CAESAR'S HOUR,
with Sid Caesar, Imogene Coca, Carl Reiner, Nanette Fabray, Mel Brooks,
Larry Gelbart, and more. Over seven years, Howard was hilarious in one
comic skit after another... "This Is Your Story," "The German General,"
"The Bavarian Clock," and scores more.
Mr. Morris was also a long-time member of the television animation
voice-actor community, working for Hanna-Barbera, Filmation, and King
Features. Among his long list of animation roles are Jughead on THE
ARCHIES, Atom Ant, Beetle Bailey, and various characters on THE
FLINTSTONES and THE JETSONS. Morris was always a very busy character
actor in television too. A close friend of Mel Brooks, Howard
costarred in Brooks' Hitchcock spoof HIGH ANXIETY (1977) as Professor
Lilloman.
In the 1960s, Howard moved into directing, mostly for television, but
also film. Highlights include GET SMART (pilot episode), BEWITCHED,
THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW, THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW, GOMER PYLE USMC and
HOGAN'S HEROES. He also directed Jackie Gleason in DON'T DRINK THE
WATER (1969). -
