Reader Buys a Panasonic RF-1080 for $7 with Excellent Results

Thanks, KE7CYT:

I picked up a RF-1080 for $7 at a thrift store. After some cleaning and DeOxit treatments, it plays like new. What a superb design; it's made to do one thing and it does it exceedingly well. (And yes sports fans, you CAN straighten a bent antenna so long as it hasn't been folded. Just go slow.) The tuning meter really helps in peaking the signal from the little 5 watt LPFM (KBRP) two canyons away. Could anyone point me to an owner's manual? The RF-1080 is simple to use, but it would be nice to see the instructions!
