The Sony CRF-1<\/p><\/div>\n

Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Mark Hirst, who shares the following:<\/p>\n

This eBay item grabbed my attention primarily for its price. I see that you blogged about one in June last year.<\/p>\n

Thank you Mark! \u00a0While the price is quite high at 1,100 GBP (roughly $1,375 US), it’s still much\u00a0less than the CRF-1 we mentioned last year<\/a>. \u00a0Steep, but easily within reach of a Sony collector. Perhaps Dan Robinson can comment, but I’ve not noticed many CRF-1s on eBay as of late.<\/p>\n

I love the classic handle\/bail design.<\/p>\n
