Dang, that was a good radio...the SW was strong, and every nught,
before turning in, I'd flip it on, scroll through the SW1 band,
listening to a few dozen station for about 15 minutes....but sadly she
died on me, and I threw it away...

Now that wasn't such a good idea - I would keep this set for looks
alone. I remember someone mentioning the shortwave sections to be a bit
problematic in terms of successful realignment (probably aging issues)
but can't find that right now. Anyway, here's what I know in terms of
pages on the RF-1150:

I bught a Grundig Yachtboy......what a pieve of crap....I'm lucky to
receive 2 - 3 stations, usually jesus stations...nowhere near the
reception power of the 30 year old Panasonic....

Which model would that be, the YB400PE? It's possible that you got a bad
apple (maybe a blown RF amp FET or something), but due to varying
conditions one can only tell side by side with a known-good radio.

Maybe i can snag one off of ebay...

That wouldn't be that bad an idea, with that huge speaker and rotating
ferrite antenna it certainly is a fun set for AMBCB, not to mention the
retro looks. Alternatively, take a look at the Kaito KA2100 - which is
not to say that one couldn't have both.

Ist ein Sammler von Grundig-Uhrenradios eigentlich ein Sonoclocker?
