\"Sears-Yaesu-FRG-7\"<\/p>\n

This must be the day for eBay finds! This one will not be a deal (price-wise) unless you’re on the market for a NOS (New Old Stock) classic receiver.<\/p>\n

On eBay is an auction that is worth watching, just to see what the final bid will be:<\/em><\/p>\n

Sears 412.36380700 (613638) Yaesu FRG-7 Shortwave Communications Receiver \/ NOS<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Sears-Yaesu-FRG-7-2\"<\/p>\n

This is a new old stock Sears version of the FRG-7, no different from the Yaesu except it had the Sears name on it. <\/em><\/p>\n

Used ones have been sold on eBay but this is the first one I’ve seen that was NOS. <\/em><\/p>\n

Amazing what people have stored away in attics, closets, basements, etc. I had one of the Sears versions years ago. Note that the older versions of the Yaesu FRG-7 did not have the fine tuning knob. This one is apparently one of the later versions. <\/em><\/p>\n

All round excellent radio, nice big speaker, excellent sensitivity, selectivity, one of the shortwave radio hall-of-famers!<\/em><\/p>\n

Click here to view on eBay.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Indeed, Mario! Thanks for the tip! As you say, it will be fun to see how high this listing may go befor ethe bidding ends tomorrow afternoon\/evening. It’s rare to find a Sears or Yaesu so pristine.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
