Many people would not get as excited about the radio I found today, there are plenty on the internet you can find..... but very few are NIB. This is a Realistic Navaho TRC-30A, just like my very first base radio I had when I was a kid that my Dad bought me!
This is a 10 out of 10 radio, everything came with it as new. An older gentleman had it, he bought it new and never used it. I will post some pictures of it tomorrow, time for me to go play like it's 1975 ;D

I will post some pictures of it tomorrow, time for me to go play like it's 1975 ;D That's why I'm glad I still have my original Comstat 25. Everytime I fire that thiung up, it's 1974-75 again. But it's really great to find such an old radio in mint shape. Makes it all the more real..... |

The same thing goes for my original USL Contact 23, I'm back in the sixties again. I did have to replace the can capacitor and a few crystals, but cosmetically and electrically it's in great condition for being over forty five years old. I also found another used Contact 23 at a ham fest about fifteen years ago to be used as parts, but that too works pretty well except for a few frequencies being a bit off.
Old tube radios are great.
