OK its not "Audio" but it makes noises.......

Realistic DX-160.

How could i pass this up for $5 ?

I could never afford one as a kid in 75.......but wanted one so bad !!!

I suppose it could be classed as an AM tuner ?

Those are great radios....killer score! Hook a longwire up to that puppy and work a little DX!

It sure takes me back.......

That qualifies as audio, you listen to it don't you. Yeah I would love to have one of those myself. Just another reminder at how cool Radio Shack used to be.

You know, it was ready to be thrown into the thrift stores trash pile......they had no idea what it was.....so they decided to throw it out.....the speaker was in another pile of trash in another corner of the store.....so i was very lucky to be able to save it........

 

[AnalogDigit]

Great score! Glad you can save it.

 

[truetone36]

$5? Wow! I paid $40 for mine. Nice score!

 

[darklife]

Beautiful radio you got there and a heck of a price! Darn wish I could find a deal like that.
I still will stick to my DX398 digital, but old analog SW radios are sure fun to play around with.
Now connect a 40 foot wire to that thing and slingshot the other end into the tree and see what you can pull in

 

[Cogsinister]

Radio Tirana Albania in English........

 

[electronjohn]

$5? You lead a charmed life.

Thats sad I reckon that happens more often than not. I must say I am kinda envious.

Picked up one of those at GW for $5 a few years ago... got it home, popped the back and discovered it was full of pink fiberglass. Mice had been using it for an apartment, dining hall and, especially, toilet for a long, long time. That one went to the landfill real quick.
