I'm holding my breath (and thousands of dollars) hoping another Panasonic RF-9000 will appear with the relatively rare reefer option. That option opened the back up and installed a small refrigeration unit for cooling a six pack. |
Is it worth $2,250.00?

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.

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. |

I own a few old Philips transistor radios.My webtv set top boxes and
webtv keyboards and webtv hand held remote control units are Philips Magnavox.I own some old Magnavox radios too. cuhulin |
There are some items such as antique toys,the boxes they came in can be
worth more than the toys themselves. cuhulin |

I have been subscribing to and reading Antique Trader for many,many
years.Their website is www.antiquetrader.com I once read in Antique Trader some antique toy boxes are worth more than the toys themselves.Think about it,most people who bought toys many years ago didn't bother to hang on to the boxes.That means the boxes are worth a lot of money,of course that depends on what sort of condition the boxes are in.Whether that holds true for radio boxes or not,the article did not say.Actually,for something to be considered a real antique,(according to Antique Trader) the item or items,must be at least 100 years old or older. cuhulin |
I wouldn't touch them fast food joints with a million mile long pole.I
dont want to ruin my health.Whenever I eat out,I go to Crechale's Rstaurant (best Seafood and Steaks in the World,Crechale's Restaurant is famous for their food) on Highway 80 a couple of miles East of my couch or to the Cherokee Inn Restaurant (great homestyle cooking and food) on North State Street.Within a few miles radius of me,there are dozens of fast food joints and I stay away from them.There are over 500 food joints and restaurants in the Jackson metro area,only two of them I prefer. cuhulin |

The CRF320 supposed to be an exceptional performer? There's a school of thought which maintains that, no matter what foolish price you paid for certain uptrendy priced radios, there will always be somebody who will pay even more when the radio is resold. People who believe such things can "invest" their meal money and home down payments without worry. Owning several Collins radios might constitue a nice retirement fund. Well, that and a large supply of well-heeled future "investors" who really want to own expensive old radios. Frank Dresser |

I don't doubt that boxes are important to some collectors - the toy guy on Antiques Road show makes that point almopst every monday evening. I do believe there are collectors for just about anything. Ice cream scoops, electric fans, can openers, you name it. On the way to the Delaware shore a few years back we stopped at McDonalds for a bite. That was when the Beanie Baby craze was taking hold. There were people standing in line to give repeat orders and to get a shot at one more free little doll. That craziness went on for maybe 3 years? Supply finally exceeded demand and the extraordinary behavior and madness of the beanie baby crowd finally subsided. |
I always look at the toys at the Goodwill thrift store.(I am going there
in about an hour) Sometimes I find one or two collectible toys and sometimes new toys that I just happen to like and I buy them.I own a bunch of old electric fans,some of them are large table models and some of them are much smaller table models,one of them is a very old brass blade rare electric fan and they all still work just fine too.Those new electric fans made in China fans nowdays aren't worth a hoot.The big old electric fan that I am useing on the end table by the other end of my couch is an old Hunter electric fan,it stll runs just as good as brand new.It was made in Memphis,Tennessee,I think it dates back to the 1940's.I own a few old collectible icecream scoops too.Some of my old toys date back to around 1900 or not much later than that.I like to collect all kinds of very old things.I have been collecting old things since I was a boy,I just can't throw good junk away.Some of those ebayers would have fit if they saw my old collectible things.There is one elderly woman in paticular who sells old things at a fleamarket in the Jackson area (there are a bunch of fleamarkets around here) and she wants to tour inside of my house so bad and she wants to buy my old things at cheap prices (my old radios too,, NO SALE!,Vicky,I dont get rid of my old things!) she has a kaniption fit! My old house is so full of things,it's pathetic. cuhulin |
