A rare AEG 1800 receiver fetched over $5,000 in an auction on the Japan Buyee site, complete with its original metal cabinet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

As collectors\/users of premium receivers know, the 1800 was once described as the best HF radio ever made. And this particular unit contained most of the rare main modules that themselves often sell for high prices in Europe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

There were 54 bids for this AEG 1800, demonstrating that rare premium sets such as this, and especially Japan Radio Company (JRC) receivers, still attract major interest from collectors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you for sharing, Dan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
