![\"Sony\"](\"http:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Sony.jpg\")
<\/a>This morning, while scanning eBay, I ran across this serviced and restored Sony CRF-320<\/a>. It’s listed with a BuyItNow price of $1,795.00 plus $63.30 shipping. Though that price seems steep to me, it appears these trend for $1,880 on eBay.<\/p>\n![\"SonyCRF-320\"](\"http:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/SonyCRF-320-300x296.jpg\")
<\/a>The CRF-320 is certainly a beautiful receiver and, aesthetically, everything I love about radios of the era. I’ve never had the pleasure of operating one, and–though I’m a bit of a radio collector–it’s simply out of my price range. If I ever manage to procure one, it’ll probably be a fixer-upper or a garage sale find. Well…one can dream…<\/p>\n
