Sony ICF-6800W: Dan notes a possible record sales price on eBay

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Dan Robinson, who writes:

A couple of years ago I did a talk a the annual SWL Fest on the best radios of all time (in my opinion anyway). The SONY ICF-6800W was among them, for reasons I think are valid - high sensitivity and beautiful audio, the major ones. Now, one has sold for what could be a record price on eBay - more than $1300. This shows how much folks are willing to pay for 6800Ws that still have the original box".

Wow-to many the ICF-6800W is a "Holy Grail" receiver. Amazing that it has held its value so well. If memory serves, it's not the easiest radio to work on, but is certainly serviceable.

Thanks for the info, Dan!
