Use
http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr

To get a sort of english translation of that page.
It is rather fascinating.

It definitely beats the heck out of that "genuine" A****er-Kent breadboard
radio with miniature tubes that was posted on eBay a few months ago. For
one thing it has a speaker.

I can't read Japanese, and don't want to install one of those language
programs, but it appears to be sold as just what it is -- a cute kit. For
the tinkerer, it can make for a neat little radio that can be a conversation
piece in the corner of any living room or office.

You don't need to /install/ anything - "babelfish" just redirects the page
you want translated to another web site that does the translation, then
displays it in your browser just like any other web page. It's one of the
most sophisticated web applications, but the translations (obviously)
aren't perfect, and can sometimes be hilarious!

Dietary Fiber-challenged "Ron" will probably make his soup out of my
shorts again but I homebrewed my own version of this set sans anything
made of plastic or the weenie 20-25cm loop and phony horn. These sets
are available on ebay and not so bad a bargain for a guy that wants to
build a set but not go chasing around for individual components. You
can find the schematic and details on other ebay listings. There's some
yakk on ARF for those wanting to investigate deeper.
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!

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?

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.

These can be purchased directly from Gakken for about $100 with direct
express shipping from JA. It is all plastic.

It says that five 0006P (9V) batteries are combined in series to
produce 45V in total.

Close enough? I never looked at the item.
