Jeff over at the excellent Herculodg blog, is about to pull the trigger on this Sangean WR-15. I must admit, I’m mighty tempted, too–about as tempted as I get for radios lacking shortwave coverage.

I love the simple design, the analog dial, and the three choices of finish: walnut, black leatherette, and silver piano finish.

At $145.95, the WR-15 is no bargain basement find, but I’m willing to bet it’ll perform quite well. Perhaps as well as my Tivoli Model One? We’ll see.

I’m sure Jeff will post a review on the Herculodge after he receives his unit in the coming weeks/months!  Thanks for the tip, Jeff!
