Thank you so much for sharing this, Les.\u00a0 I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve always wanted a Lowe and I’m quite fond of the simple display on the 225. INdeed, I think one of the strong points of Lowe was a focus on audio and reception all while keeping the controls and package so incredibly simple.\u00a0 This seller has a perfect rating and the radio is obviously in wonderful cosmetic shape.\u00a0 This will make someone a happy Lowe owner.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks again for sharing, Les!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
