Local Pickup Only. Starting bid $25, Buy-It-Now $45. "This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available."  https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ultradyne-Mode ... true&rt=ncI think that would've been a score for $45. Somebody else got there first!

Never seen a rubber chassis before. Was that common?

Stored in the attic, the compound flows at 135F or more. Certainly can be rebuilt on new Bakelite...

Ahh.. thought it was literally a thick/hard rubber chassis that I'd never seen before.

Yes, it is a sheet of hardened rubber, maybe 3/16" thick.
As Chas said, the rubber gets soft when it gets hot. If you wanted to rebuild the radio, you could strip all the parts off the rubber board and relocate them to a Bakelite board, solving that problem forever.
Although if you're gonna go to the trouble of stripping the rubber board, it may be possible to flatten it out and reuse it.
Don't know how common rubber boards like this were. Not as common as Bakelite boards, I'd say. We've also talked about one cathedral radio whose entire cabinet was rubber! I think a Music Master.
