My Hammarlund SP-600-JX-17. I paid nothing for it. In 1980 I aquired a
portable color tv that supposedly didn't work. I brought it home, fixed a
cold solder joint, and it worked fine. My friend wanted the color tv and
offered the Hammerlund, a mint Vinking Ranger, and a few more pieces of
equipment. The only piece I have left is the Hammerlund. A local tech
restored it for me 2 years ago and did a wonderful job.
I've added an outboard product detector and a Hammarlund matching speaker.

Yesterday I was thinking about what a great deal I got
on the Radio Shack DX-399 (Sangean ATS-606)
when RS closed them out at $40. I bought 2.

That got me wondering what you consider to be
your "steal of a lifetime". The recent amazon.com
pricing of $150 for the Sony SW-07 comes to mind.

What did you purchase for a great price, or even get
free?


About three years ago I purchased a Zenith 15-U-269 in almost mint
condition from a small antique store for $300.00. Best $300.00 I have
ever spent.

My Kenwood R-1000 Communication Receiver. I paid almost full retail
price for it, but no matter, the radio has worked great for 20 years
(except for the on/off button I had to replace).
