[Phlogiston]

I understand today's value of this radio as it is a collectable AK, but I fail to understand the appeal back in the days when it was a then consumer product and in fact a piece of furniture. The stove was the first thing that came to mind when I first saw it.

Well yes. I do like it. It is heavy, but nothing like the Scott SLR, also from the lot. And I probably would not have bought one but I was given 2 and felt obligated to make one work. Now I am happy that I did. A post on FB says that it is harder to find than the other "little stove" models.
