Another Old Radio Find
Check out this old receiver.
OK so I became a bit frustrated at Dayton seeing old sets like this one going for hundreds of dollars, and being sold. At a local non Ham Radio flea market today I did a bit of bargaining on this set and bought it dirt cheap. It's an Allied Radio A2515 general coverage receiver circa late 60's to early 70's. It needs a bit of cleaning up on the inside and out, but works quite well. I doubt if I'll be turning this thing around to make a profit on Ebay, not yet at least. Like all my other old radio collecting ventures, I'm just amazed at how simple things were in radio back then. This was a popular set amongst novice operators and beginners. It's not a top of the line receiver, but still a net little piece of gear. Not only that it's pretty when the dial lights up. :)
