Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Moshe Zaharia, who recently made my day by sending the photo above (click to enlarge).
I told Moshe that I’m pretty certain, he’s the first SWL in Israel to snag both an SWLing Post coffee mug and tee shirt!
Check out that Ben-Gal “Duet-Stereo” console radio–the same one he recently cleaned and repaired. What a classic! Love that backlit dial..
Thanks again for sharing, Moshe!

Long live Shortwave! Long live SWLing Post!
Wondering if Moshe knows any of the few Israeli guys selling high level premium radios, such as WJ equipment there….
Hi Dan!
No, I don’t know any of them.
I’m not a ham so I’m not involved in the local market.
You can try the Israel Amateur Radio Club here:

They have a “marketplace” for used equipment.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Moshe.
There must be a few. I recall sending several Collins HF-2050 manuals to Israel years ago.
Wonderful photo, Moshe. SWL Lives!
Many thanks, Ken!
One thing I didn’t mention: the magical scent of a wooden cabinet warming up from the heat of the tubes…
By the way: in this photo, the radio is on the 31 meter band.
Long live Shortwave! Long live SWLing Post!
A big credit to my amazing wife, Haya for taking this photo: I Love You!
Best Regards,
Moshe.
