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The prices in that book are somewhat out of date, but they felt it was a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.



BTW,

Didn't they know 666 was not the best choice for the US??

Are you saying Profit Stare wouldn't be likely to promote it?


Well,

I listen to him sometimes. Let's see how good the "666" radio brings him in.
Perhaps this radio let's you hear only what a person is really thinking. It
only broadcasts the truth. Now I'm kind of scared about it myself. The
headline for this radio in the ad only said "Kenwood Shortwave Radio"

If you didn't check the listing manually, you wouldn't find it. It didn't
say "QR-666"
or "Pre R-300" I wonder what the black box brings??
