Hi Chuck!

Here's one that just popped up on ebay tonight: 3038812281 The "Buy it
Now" is $95.

If you're looking to get into tube shortwave radio, this one is certainly
ok, especially if it's in good shape and includes the speaker for $100.
That's a very nice price. It's a single conversion receiver with 8 tubes.
Not a high-performance communications receiver by any means, but if you've
been listening on the s/w bands on an antique broadcast band radio for
several years, and you've been enjoying that, you'll have a lot of fun with
this one! If you get hooked on listening to this radio, and decide to move
up to a more expensive one down the road ( and there are plenty of terrific
tube communications receivers in the $200-250 range) you can easily get your
money out of it.

Good luck!
Clay

Hi,
The NC125 is basically an NC57 with the Select-O-Ject feature built in
as well as an S meter. For $100.00 including the speaker, it is
probably a good buy. The speaker alone is worth about $50.00. This is
all contingent upon the condition of the set and speaker. Parts are
readily available.
