Default best sounding portable radio

This is a bit off the beaten path, but my old Astronaut-8 from Sadio
Shack, a surprisingly sensitive and selective set, also had a big
speaker in a big container that sounded good. Good reception off the
whip, and looked/felt/sounded like a "real" radio. If you can find one
used, in good shape, it's a keeper. I wish I'd kept mine.


I looked and found two of them in eBay completed items. One went for $9.99 and
another went for $19.00. They didn't seem to be in the greatest shape, but I
suppose if one keeps their eyes open they can come across a decent one.
