The Barlow-Wadley XCR-30 was an amazing radio in its day and well worth
adding to a collection. You can still find them in good condition in South
Africa for about $80, but shipping costs to the USA would kill you.
(probably $80/100!)

I just bought these two off Ebay and was wondering if anybody has any
experience with these two radios. I bought em both for obvious collector
reasons. The R-530 has the Wadley loop circuit which I'm interested in.
And
I got the SW1 because it's one of the first micro portables with descent
performance and I collect Sony's. I would like to find the Original Barlow
Wadley XCR-30 someday.
