[Boatanchors] Cost of radio SX 25

[KA6UUP]

I bought a vary fine condx SX-25 and matching speaker about 10 years age.
Because of its condx I decided to do a complete electrical restoration.
After replacing the caps and resistors completely with modern components it is amazing
what a fine radio it is; very stable after about 10-15 minute warm-up.
Dial calibration is close and the only weak area is above about 20 meters.
I am very happy with it
