Just got this radio and was wondering what ya think? I paid $25 for it. Any comments? How do they perform?

It is a decent radio. Nothing really stellar but decent. For 25 bucks - good buy.

At least it has a real SW band (4.2 to 12 mc), unlike the model 60 which has a mostly useless 1.5 to 4 mc SW band.

I love the style of this console. Well done at 4x the price in my opinion.

Like Ron said it's a 60 w/much better SW coverage. The chassis is layed out a little different than the 60 underneath and it's a little more critical to work on. I've got a 66MB that on the long waiting list. Mike fixed up one a while back. I too like that design of the cabinet.

Yeah I have a 66 tombstone with lyre grill pattern. Love the design.
the band switch is weird but unless stuck is easy to disassemble. People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Thanks guys for the comments. I like the cabinet too! Also the expanded SW band. My 60B is only to 4mc!
