New Price: $160 Used Price: $90 - 145 Dimensions: 14.5" wide X 6" high X 9" deep. I have several of these receivers available for sale. Three are DX150 models. The rest are all DX160 models. Some of them have all of the original knobs. Some have one or two that are different. All of the receivers are being sold as-is. They are complete unless otherwise noted. At this point they are all untested and might work fine. Most of these need a new AC line cord. The antenna connections have all been changed to BNC receptacles but that is no big deal and it's very easy to change one of these to an SO-239 if desired. Some of these may have an extra sticker or two. Most of these sets look a little used, and show some wear, but they would be great for a restoration project or to use as is if you are not looking for a collector's model, beauty queen receiver. First come, first served means you will get the best choice up front if you buy now. I do not know if they work. I have not tested them,but since they were all removed from service from an active company when they were shut down, there is good reason to think that most of them work fine as-is. If you want them tested, then the price is going to go up a little, naturally. These sets typical sell used in the range of $95.00 to $125.00. I have ONE with no case for $25.00 plus shipping. I have one with a slightly dented case for $30.00 plus shipping. The others are all available for $45.00 each plus shipping. Pictures and details at: http://www.af4k.com/radios.htm
