Why would someone that obviously knows about radios and collects them make
a bull**** statement like this? Everybody knows the SX-28 was one of the
most mass produced receivers of that era and are still plentiful. It ****es
me off when people that claim to be collector or lover of the radio hobby
exaggerate or lie to make an extra buck on a radio. Yes I'm speaking of a
certain place people auction radios. People like this won't get my buck.

Is it possible that SX28's were kinda scarce and the more prevalent SX28A was
the more plentiful one?

Yes there are probably less of the 28s than 28As but neither is scarce.

There were a great many shipped to the Soviet Union during the war as well.

Ebay sellers are greatly known for the abuse of the words "scarce", and
"rare". After all if they use those words it might get another bid or
two, makes no difference that they have done no research or have any
other information to base it on. The idea is to get another buck.

You don't understand! They mean that it would be rare, or scarce to
find a collector who doesn't already have one.

PS WE had the popular radio DJ Tom COLLINS.

Kewl.. in Salem, in the late 60's and 1970, we had a country station with a
DJ named Jack Daniels.. "At KAPT we put Jack Daniels in your radio... not
safe, but certainly entertaining." Shortly into 1970, they changed format,
and became a Christian station. They still are, but the call letters changed
shortly after the format...

We also have Ken Bass, as in the song line, "Oh my buddy Ken Bass, he's
a-workin' pumping gas, and he makes $2.54 an hour" ("Gold" by John Stewart,
from the "Bombs Away Dream Babies" LP). Plus we have a traffic reporter with
maybe a dozen names, one for every station he serves. He has a woman named
"Claire Day" working for him. There also was once a hard rock DJ, Dave "your
radio slave" Stone, "Bad" Bob Lee, "Emporer" Larry Lomax, "Jammin'" Jeff
Allen, "Captain" Mike Kasper and an Australian student named "the Wombat"
who left on visa issues (he was pretty damned good and likeable too). All in
Boise radio.
