[Boatanchors] Vintage Radios--LOTS

[manualman at juno.com]

I could find no ebay category listed as VINTAGE RADIO RECEIVER.
If you search VINTAGE RADIO RECEIVER, in All Categories, you get 1020
listings.
If you search "VINTAGE RADIO RECEIVER", in All Categories, you get 5
listings. 
Note that this is a real time search so numbers vary up and down.
Quotes versus no quotes makes a big difference. With no quotes, it
searches for the tag: vintage or radio, or receiver.
