On that one auction (270110127334), looks like bidder #3 wanted it
badly...bid a number of times, topping over his previous bids while no

was already up to $1670 when #5 popped it only $30 more. Then #3 kept
increasing it higher over his previous bid. Nope...I think the seller
got real lucky on this one.

Unless bidder #3 was the shill, and had no idea what he was doing...

I would be amazed beyond belief if the sale actually goes through and the
radio actually changes hands at that price.

Check out this Ranger 2.

I was at a ham swap meet in Spokane Washington back in the 80's. A
guy had a same-as-new factory wired Johnson Ranger II for $100. I
didn't think I would ever have a use for it, so I passed. Kicking
myself ever since.
