Wow, thanks for posting that link. Now that is truly astounding. How
can Ebay allow such bidding to happen in a public place. Collectors
should not be allowed to perpetrate that kind of bidding action and run
up the price. It's just terrible to think that Ebay actually allowed
the final bidder to pay more for the radio than the next-to-the-last
bidder.

That said, as a listeners radio the 6800 is really more like the guy we
all have known that was a bit slow witted. Eventually the job got
done, but it took for ever and he had a tendency to wander around a bit.
