Yesterday, at the march\u00e9 aux puces\u00a0de Sainte-Foy<\/em>\u00a0(Sainte-Foy flea market) in Qu\u00e9bec City, I stumbled across the little receiver above in a box of junk under a vendor’s table.<\/p>\n

I’ve actually worked up a short post about this radio and will publish it tomorrow, but first I’m curious if any Post<\/em> readers can identify it based only on the photo above.<\/p>\n

I’ve purposely cropped the image so it’s slightly more challenging. Still, there are so many radio enthusiasts here on the SWLing Post<\/em>, no doubt someone will quickly ID this radio.<\/p>\n

Please comment with the make\/model and type of receiver<\/a> if you think you’ve got the answer to this radio challenge!<\/p>\n

Here’s a hint: I haven’t seen a receiver like this in decades<\/em>. Good luck!<\/p>\n
