I actually bought one of these from Fair Radio in the late 70's. I
think circa $100. No, I don't have it anymore, it got hacked
up (especially power supply side, the dynamotor went real early, and
I had some sort of outboard solid-state audio amp)
and given away circa 1990.

Just for reference, I spent *less* for that receiver than I did for
my HW-100 (which I spent $150 on about the same time). Those
were not trivial amounts of money to a kid back then!

I kept the HW-100 by the way!

Tim.
