I've had two Sony CRF-5100s in my time. The first I bought was from a school
rummage sale about 15 years ago for $8. Another was from a hamfest a few
years ago for $85. Neither was terribly impressive and I sold them for
roughly what I had in them.

A friend's dad had a huge collection of receivers from the late 50's
until he died in 1981, and this was one of the portables. The Sony
wasn't great when it was new, let alone now...
