Does anyone here remember the Kenwood QR-666 or has owned one?
How were they? I can't find out if they were double or triple conversion.

How much do you think they are worth nowadays for collectors?

Thanks
Lucky

The Osterman book says it's double conversion.

The prices in that book are somewhat out of date, but they felt it was a
one star (value rating) radio and worth $60-80.

For comparison, the same book indicated the range for a used R-1000 was
$280-$300 and they gave it 5 stars for value. The R-2000 was $380-$450
and 4 stars.


Hey hi Mark!

Long time no talk to. How have you been?

I just picked of these QR-666's for $81 tonight. It includes the original
manual too. I like the looks of it. Can't find any reviews for it but I'd
like to try it out.
It can be hooked up for car use. I like playing with some of these older
radios.

I'm doing pretty well, though I'm feeling I could have used another week in
Naples.

As long as it's in good working condition you probably did OK. Having a manual
is nice - especially if it includes service information.

Having it capable of running from battery power is always a good thing too,
though you've also got the Lowe for that.

Mark

I'm so glad to hear you're doing OK. I was a little worried about you for a
while chap. I didn't see any posts from you like before and wondered what
happened.

OK so $81 was not high then. It looks from the picture and manual someone
just socked it away in storage.

Wow, that was pretty old post. I stopped checking it after a while. As long
as all is well that's all that matters.
