I find the 'chase' is almost as fun as actually getting the radio. I'm by no means a collector - just a user that like to find a cheap neglected radio, fix it up and pass it along.
For example, I recently found a really nice DeWalt DW911 - a construction radio that runs off of DeWalt cordless tool batteries - just an excellent design, and one of the most sensitive fm receivers I've used yet! AM is also excellent. I've been using a Sangean U3 for a couple years now due to its excellent AM, and this may replace it.... it's that good. All this goodness cost me $30 bucks at a garage sale. Of course, it was beat to hell and back, but a little elbow grease brought it back to a nice 'user' status.
Nice find. I sort of expect poor AM on these "workplace" radios. I'll keep an eye out if DeWalt ever decides to price-drop it's stock.
