Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Christian, who notes that the price of the Eton Executive Traveler continues to go down on Amazon. Christian notes:
The price is now less than $37US shipped. I’m sure the price will continue to decline until inventory is sold out but I’ve a feeling that once they’re gone, they’re gone. Truly a bargain for this little receiver that had a sales price of $79.99 for years.
Thanks, again, Christian for the tip!

Dumb question. Is it electric or battery operated?
Is this a trick question? Even batteries supply electricity! The radio operates on 4 AA batteries or 6V DC via an adapter not supplied with the radio.
The Amazon listing says:
Executive Traveler
AM/FM/Longwave/Shortwave Radio now with SSB (Single Side Band)
Now hear this: The Executive Satellit radio receives every radio wavelength— AM(MW), FM, LW, and Shortwave (SW)—at home or abroad. Plus, it receives VHF aircraft band, Single Sideband (SSB) and includes a PLL tuner so your AM signal is strong and clear. It has all the bells and whistles in a compact unit, wrapped in a chic and elegant leather cover.
This model does NOT have SSB capability, correct?
Correct, the description is from the Executive Satellit, also the review section has the reviews from 4 quite different Eton radios (Field BT, Exec. Traveler, Exec. Satellit, Mini) all lumped together, a typical chaos when different products are treated as “styles” of the same model.
