Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Ron, for sharing a link to Jay Allen's review of the Channel Master 6515 Super Fringe AM radio.
Jay notes:
The Channel Master 6515 "Super Fringe" is a beautiful 8 transistor AM portable radio with a tuned RF stage manufactured by Sanyo exclusively for Channel Master throughout most of the 1960's. These usually need recapping when received and it's not an easy job but once recapped and aligned they are excellent performers. I decided to put it up against the most obvious competition"namely a Zenith Royal 500H, long known as a reference among vintage mid-sized AM portables. Does the Channel Master Super Fringe match or even unseat the Zenith sensitivity champ?
