I bought my last WORKING SX-28 at a yard sale. $20.00, included the original
manual. No extra holes, rust, etc. YES, I sleep good at nite.

2 receivers, 2 paper manuals and one CD manual.

If they are so "COMMON" then everyone who wanted one
probably already has several, so they should go for very
cheap then, right?

LOL

Why would someone that obviously knows about radios and collects them make
a bull**** statement like this? Everybody knows the SX-28 was one of the
most mass produced receivers of that era and are still plentiful.

Being "rare" isn't significant to me. A rare radio implies that they
didn't sell too
well, because of bad style, engineering, or just too expensive for what
it did.
I have a web page showing the "common" easily found radios that I own.

I like my radios "well done" :-)

Well, sellers sometimes like to say a mass produced item is rare, not
because it didn't fit a market or wasn't a good deal for the money, but
because "it probably was ahead of it's time:".

I sold one of my SX-28As for a little over $1500 on Ebay two years ago. My
reserve was anout $550 but the auction kept going. It was nice and some
people can afford it. Wanna guess who won the auction.

A certain WA6 perhaps?

Might that be a certain WB6A** instead?

You can't even get my bipolar illness correct. I'm not delusional OR

Cherry SX-28s are scarce. Especially ones with the dial
locks, no rust, no dust, no mods... Them seem to prefer
damp cellars and garages in later life. I have two garage
rats that need full restoration--awaiting my retirement time
in a few years. They also seem to bunch with with SX-42s,
another two locally found items that also liked dark places.
Must be a mating thing?
