That's twice now you've posted that link.

I doesn't look anything at all like an Icom or Yaesu. And most
certainly not like a Drake. If anything, it looks like an over
priced midrange consumer radio from the 80s. Which it is.

MSRP was $800, Jeff. Around 350-400 shy of the SX-1980, which was still
in some stores when this came out. THAT was 270 wpc.

When did you buy a common 46 pound stereo?

They aren't exactly common anyway. LOLOL

What is "ARF", I hope it's not one of those alternative forums?

Dietary Fiber-challenged "Ron" will probably make his soup out of my

Its further evidence of my "blue butchering period" of fake tubes like the
Radio LL :)
Its a cute little receiver - nothing to write home about and struggles to
drive a horn, fake or otherwise, on anything but locals. Maybe
over-represented in that regard. Toss the horn and use phones and its
quite respectable for 'radio' person.

Its a clean sounding rig and shouldn't be any disappointment in its price
class unless you compare it to an old plastic $5 clock radio. Its the kit
that counts!

Thanks for the babelfish link..thats pretty neat too.

Anyhow I just thought this kit is kinda neat...dont see something like
this everyday...only things close usually have a cassette player or cd
player jammed into them...and no tubes.... I bet it is all plastic
too....the base, the horn everything...

150.00 USD on ebay ~:....kinda steep..... if they were 30 bucks I'd
buy one just to get an up close look at it.

The tube "strainer" that accompanys the kit was kinda funny....I guess
thats something that got lost in translation.
