Reminds me of the National HRO-500 receiver I picked up for $25.00 a
couple of years ago. New in the late 1960's they sold for over $4,000.


If you got a HRO-500 for $25 you got a steal. They typicly sell for over
$500 in good shape and upwards of a $1000 in excellent condition.

Yes, I think it was a pretty good deal vbg. Powered right up. Kind
of fiddly to use and the 4 filters were a bit sloppy by todays
standards, but it was fun to play with for a while. That HRO knob was
pure pleasure to spin - sort of like a combination lock on a bank
vault.

I got it at an estate auction for $25.00 and someone else got a Kenwood
TS830 for $45.00. The radios were not advertised so all the antique
people showed up but no hams.

Once did a woman up her back door in Saigon.I didn't like it,she didn't
like it,Mamasan was holllerin,Long Time!
