I'd keep looking on eBay. Unless the Tasma radio was extremely rare, another may very well show up eventually.

BTW: Does Australia have a standard AM broadcast band as we do here in the US, or is all VK-land (amateur radio callsign prefix for Australia) broadcasting done on shortwave? I notice that at least one of the Australian radios shown in this thread has three or four bands, but no frequency markings; the firm that made this radio must have gotten the idea for "stationizing" from Packard-Bell. If Australia does have an AM BC band, what frequency range would it be--above or below the US broadcast band?
