[Elecraft] [OT] Jurassic Radio vs. K3

[westalto at comcast.net]

I always wanted an SX-88 and salivated over the ads! In the early 60's there was 

a  small radio store in San Mateo that had a really cherry SX-88 for around $500 

Having just graduated college I wasn't in any position to even afford THAT! 



My gawd, $10k, better than investing in the market!

Hi Dave, 

Hope you are doing well. 

Much better and a whole lot cheaper: the Siemens E311 series of professional 
HF receivers. These can still be picked up in Europe for around 500 Euro 
($720). The E311 is built, and handles, like a fine measuring instrument.

Wayne, Eric and all, 

Forgive this OT posting but for those of your interested in a trip down 
memory lane check out this exquisitely restored Hallicrafters SX-88 on eBay. 

Once you get past the price, the rig and the description of its 
restoration are a once in a life time find. 

The SX-88 may be one of if not the most desired collectible general 
coverage/ham receivers of all times.  Remarkable technology for 55 years 
ago.

Check it out fast as it will disappear in no more that 3 days or so.
