FOR SALE: RADIO SHACK DX150A and DX150B Receivers in 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. Made in Japan, Voltages: 120 V AC OR 12 VDC. Readout: Analog, Modes: AM, SSB & CW, Selectivity 4 kHz, Single Conversion Superhet Bands: 535 - 1600 kHz, 1550 - 4500 kHz, 4.5 - 13 MHz, and 13 - 30 MHz.

New Price: $160 Used Price: $75 - 95 Dimensions: 14.5" wide X 6" high X 9" deep. I have three of these receivers available for sale. There are 2 DX150A models, ONE DX150B (with mechanical filter.) 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. They are complete unless otherwise noted. Each of these needs an AC line cord. The antenna connections have 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. I do not know if they work. I have not tested them. They will need an AC cord and some need a volume pot. NOTES: DX-150A manufactured 1969 - 1971 - has FET front-end. DX-150B manufactured 1972 - 1974 - has Five FETs AND mechanical filter. 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 $45.00 plus shipping. Two radios (DX150A) are available for $39.00 each plus shipping 73, Brian E-mail: af4k@hotmail.com
