Don't think cheesy really applies to that radio. I understand it is
very well finished and the controls are precise for an analog radio and
smooth in operation. It would be fun to use, but the price of $3,000
puts it way outside of the realm of what I would call a user radio.
Someone who like Sony things will undoubtedly put it on a shelf. There
are numerous other radios with the same feel and reception ability for
far less.

Now you said it! Cheech and Chong,some of my Heroes.

That's a neat little radio. The Philips are hard to come by in the states or
harder at least.

Collector wise it's probably worth in the rang of $650-1000 but not $2500

I dunno....collectors seem to have a wide range of acceptable value
vbg.
I've seen the 320 fetch 2500 + on Ebay, the Panasonic RF9000 go for
close to $4k, Sony 6800 go for $1k, and so forth. All nice radios, but
collectors will bid one out of sight if it will complete a collection
or if it comes with all important goodies like original box,
instructions, hang tags, etc.

Collecting can easily become addiction.

True, but the race to have a "complete perfect" one can get a little
out of hand....

Yes, but will it hold up the far end of a two by four while I'm sawing? Will it
block up a car while I change a tire? Will it play eight track tapes? Does it
project a bat wing symbol onto the night sky?

If not, it's pretty well useless.

Just thought I'd warn the unwary...
