A big question looms: Most boatanchors are the past "wish" radios of
people now in their 60s - 80s. Those people are often sitting on a
lifetime of savings and know they will soon be leaving this earth. If
they are ever to have the super radio of their teen years they must buy
it now, no matter what the price!

Yep. And let's not forget it's been a generation since AM radio has had
much programming aimed at teens.

Unlike catalin radios, boatanchors are seldom pretty. I wonder if
boatanchors will still be appreciated--and valued--once the old guys who
learned to appreciate them as youths are gone?

Kids hardly know AM/SW radio exists. I think future generations will little
more interest in old radios than my generation has in old fedoras.
