Here's another SX-88 up for sale. Wonder how much this one will fetch.

What's wrong with replacing the paper electrolytics (as long as you
save the old bad ones for some insane person who would prefer a
confetti blaster)?

And the reserve isn't even met! Definitely too rich for my taste.

It'll probably go for $10,000 or even more.

I have to chuckle whenever one of those feeding frenzies starts when a
L@@K, R@RE, vacuum tube receiver pops up on EBay. It sold for $595.00
when new in the mid 50's. Granted, not many were built, but it is an
average receiver by todays standards. There are a lot of people out
there with more money than brains.

I like the "Fully Tubed" bit. for $3500.00 + one would hardly hope to
have the tubes in the radio.

If radio buyers back in the mid 50s thought the SX-88 was worth $600.00,
Hallicrafters would have been making them by the thousands.

Sure, if the owner wants a well-working, reliable radio. But, at that
price, it's not really a radio any more. It's a piece of history, a work of
art or maybe a fool's investment waiting for the greater fool.

Yes, a nice dusting on my car as I pulled away from the studio a few minutes ago.
