[Boatanchors] National Cosmic Blue Receivers

[wa9wfa]

Today I was researching for an article, and came across a photo of a National NC-270 “Cosmic Blue” receiver.  The receiver was absolutely gorgeous!  I was vaguely aware of them, but this color photo was stunning.

I’m curious now.  How well did the NC-270 or NC-155 Cosmic Blue receiver work?  Gads, if they work as good as they look, they must be the best radio in the world… hi hi. The styling is superb! 

Does anyone here own one and can comment on it?  

I believe the receiver has a matching Cosmic Blue speaker that also has the bail that flip down and tilts the radio up.  That  set up is so cool.  

Thanks.  73 Scott WA9WFA
