No, even those that are in absolutely mint condition go for $300-350. Most
sell for less.

$600? Never. It's just not that rare a radio. Lots of them on eBay,
always. Look up the completed auctions on D7000Y. It appears that this
seller did not do that.

Looks like you contradict yourself , IF demand was so HIGH, $600 would be
nothing
to get a really great radio and there wouldn't be "Lots of them on e-bay"

Performance was just fine on Zenith TransOceanics, and there is very high
demand for them in good shape. You don't know what you're talking about.

I don't know what I'm talking about ? Well the asker wanted to know
if
there was anything
Equal or better than a Zenith TO ..... then to answer the question
.....
yes EVERYTHING
is equal or BETTER than a TO

lots were sold because of price and portability, but performance was
terrible. Again if you check e-bay there are alot for sale with
virtually
no takers.

The answer to the original question is probably the E1XM, although I'd
wait
for the Grundig version without the XM if I were looking to buy one
new.

The Zenith Trans-Oceanic was a piece of crap ( all versions )
Go up on e-bay and see what they are going for ( if you can find
ANYONE
even bidding on them )

I collect Zenith radios from the 30's and think Zenith made the best
radios at the time ...... unfortunatly this one was a DUD.

- Very good to excellent build quality
- All band coverage (by current standards)
- Portable
- Excellent sound
- In general, simply inspires lust

I'm sorry to say, I can't think of any worthy radios.

Any suggestions?
