And that's correct (roughly 1050 listings) because it searches for all
occurrences the word vintage, or the word radio, or the word receiver. If
you review the listings in detail (page for page), besides old amateur
and short wave receivers, you'll also find stereo and hi-fi receivers,
portable radios, books, headphones, advertisements, and lots of assorted
other stuff that sellers have identified as vintage, or radio, or
receiver.

No mystery here.
