I'm an estate sale junkie of sorts and have found a few interesting old
radios just waiting for a new owner.

One was a Lafayette KT340 bandspread tube receiver with a Q multiplier.
I think it was actually made by National of Japan. Picked it up
mostly because I remembered my Dad's old Hammarlund 180 had a Q
multiplier. Now that KT340 was good for a lot of knob twirling.

The Sony ICF5900 was found stuffed with it's power supply in an
oversized ziploc baggie. Without knowing what it was I grabbed it for
$10.00 and had to learn the crystal marker the hard way.


I wonder is this radio has the FM option already in it? That would be a very
nice find indeed. Yeah some of these cast off older rigs still have plenty
of life left in them. People think a radio is a radio but they would be
wrong. Each has it's own personality and design. I like experiencing as many
as I can.
