Review of 1978 Telefunken Partner 700 AM/FM/SW Radio Coming Soon

I was officially on radio hiatus and managed to stay on it for about 5 weeks or so, that is until Paul told me about the Telefunken line. I won this bid. With shipping and eBay 10% discount, the total is $61.50. This radio was made in Germany and is supposed to be high-end. I like that you can listen to it upright or horizontally. I'll review it in the next few weeks.

With 2 hours to go until close, a Panasonic RF-2900 is currently commanding $290, a high amount when considering it's esteemed lower than the RF-2200, which typically goes for about $225. Is the 2900 more rare? Is it better than I originally heard about? Let me know. 

The Sangean DT-210V Digital Radio Selling for $35 on Amazon

The Sangean DT-210V Digital Radio has AM/FM/TV band, the latter being defunct soon. So perhaps the price, $35, is a good bargain. One Amazon reviewer says the 210V "runs circles" around the more expensive DT-400W ($55) on AM reception. I have the 400 and the AM is strong, but I don't have the 210V, so I can't confirm this claim.
