Wow, those NY Times readers really know how to spend money. Maybe I should list my restored G500 for 3-grand! Ha!!

The letter “L” refers to the year of manufacture. “L” would indicate 1954 not 1952. Now to really confuse you, the real L600 did not have a headphone jack in front as shown in the picture (it was on the rear of the chassis. So, this radio is either a R600/1955, T600/1956, or Y600/1957. There was no S,U,V, W,or X year designates. A600, and B600 radios (like N3iBX Joe’s) have a 4 to 9 MC band, where the R,S, and T series radios had the 4 to 8 MC band. By the way, on a good day this radio is worth $150.00 US.
