It is a shame that most of the pictures on this thread do not show up ... It would have been nice to have seen all of your radios!
When a little kid, Santa brought me a Sears Wayfarer for Christmas (1972). It has serviced me well through the years, as I went DXing and recorded my finds on tape. And, it worked wonderful as an amplifier (with RCA input) for testing various equipment through the years. It still is in my arsenal, and works well to this day.
While hamfesting one day, I found another rather cheap, and will hold on to that one for parts, if mine ever needs them.
Saw one go on eBay the other day ...
