REALISTIC DX150 and DX 160 RECEIVERS. - fairly good condition This is a general coverage Shortwave and AM band receiver covering 535 kHz to 30 MHz in several bands, with bandspread tuning for the ham bands etc. The DX160 model includes the 150-400 kHz LF (longwave) band. The DX150 does not. Made in Japan 1975-1980, Voltages: 120 V AC OR 12 VDC.

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. There are 2 DX150A models, ONE DX150B (with mechanical filter) and one DX160 model. Some have one or two knobs that are different. A couple of these have the AF gain pot removed. All of the receivers are being sold as-is. 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. 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, except as noted, They will need an AC cord and some need a volume pot. NOTES: DX-150 manufactured 1967 - 1969 - has 30 semiconductors. DX-150A manufactured 1969 - 1971 - has FET front-end. DX-150B manufactured 1972 - 1974 - has Five FETs and mechanical filter. DX-160 manufactured 1975 - 1980 - has one integrated circuit. These sets typical sell used in the range of $75.00 to $95.00. I will supply a copy of the operators manual AND the service manual with each of these radios. The manuals include the schematic diagrams etc. The DX150B receiver is available for $50.00 plus shipping. Two radios (DX150A and DX160) are available for $45.00 each plus shipping ONE DX150A receiver with no top cover is available for $35.00 plus shipping.
