Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Dan Robinson, who notes this is the first time he’s seen a Winradio G39DDCe ‘Excelsior’ on eBay.
The asking price is a steep $1,999.99 shipped. That may seem like a high price but, new, these retail for well over $4,000 US. The Excelsior is an uncompromising, benchmark wideband receiver. The seller is also accepting offers, so if you’ve ever considered purchasing an Excelsior, you might consider placing an offer. This is a rare one. Thanks for the tip, Dan!

Hi, thought I would tell you about my G39DDC. One evening I was scanning through the eBay auctions and found a new listing for a G39DDC that wasn’t up there a few hours earlier. I delayed our dinner (g) to convince my wife this was a truly rare find on eBay. She okayed the funds and I made a counter offer of (I think) $2400. The initial price point was $2700. The seller approved it a few minutes later. I’ve had it for about 5 years now. It was an ‘open box’ item. It recently quit working and I sent it in to Aventas for the $550 repair price they offer. It now works great and seems much faster than before. Maybe it is, or maybe I have a good imagination. This has been a great experience so far!
