\"\"<\/a>\u00a0Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Dan Robinson, who writes:<\/p>\n

A couple of years ago I did a talk a the annual SWL Fest<\/a> on the best radios of all time (in my opinion anyway). The SONY ICF-6800W was among them, for reasons I think are valid — high sensitivity and beautiful audio, the major ones. Now, one has sold for what could be a record price on eBay — more than $1300. This shows how much folks are willing to pay for 6800Ws that still have the original box….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wow–to many the ICF-6800W is a “Holy Grail” receiver. Amazing that it has held its value so well. If memory serves, it’s not the easiest radio to work on, but is certainly serviceable.<\/p>\n

Thanks for the info, Dan!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
