They're not bad general SWL sets, worth saving/restoring rather than cannabalising for valves, sturdily made and with an RF stage and a BFO. Do beware of the twin caveats of mains-transformerless ("AC/DC") power supply implementation and metal casework, though- there are various crucial insulating washers and strips to make the set safe and faults or incompetent previous owners could make it dangerous, so thorough insulation testing os important.
