One of the early ones (c. 1992) but supposedly works fine and looks
very good and has a bright CRT. I've read many reviews and understand
that it's a terrific receiver, but that's a lot of bucks for a 16-year-
old radio.

What do those familiar with the receiver think?


I've seen one, operated one. As I recall, they ran very hot. For the money, you
can find some other nice receiver(s) and populate your shack.
