Topband: Receivers

[Gene Smar]

JT:

     Depending on the price sought, I'd buy the thing anyway.  I've had an
entire C-line station since I bought it new in 1979 and, as I've said many
times before, they can take it from my cold, dead hands!  I enjoy the fact
that one can actually WORK on these things and tweak them up from time to
time.
