Definitely a cool receiver, though a little numb on the high bands. Nice
that you got the speaker with it. I'm still looking for one along with the
DB-20 to complete mine. Had one bad in the early 80s that went down the
road early on, replaced it a couple years ago with a nice example from an
old friend.

One word of caution: the dial material looks a lot more substantial than it
is. It's more like boxboard thickness or less. Looks like it would be easy
to damage with an errant finger or the slip of a screwdriver.

Have fun with it!
