There are many out there who feel the 225 is a better radio than the
150 due to its bandpass filters and more IF filters. and it of course
has the famous Lowe sound.
I have a station that I put together:
LOWE HF-225 in very good condition with slight scuff marks on the top.
KEYPAD !
manual
antenna wire
external speaker with several to choose from
Panasonic Noise canceling headphones worth $50
a book or two on SWL/DX

price is a very reasonable $600. I have seen the 225 without keypad go
for that.
