Realistic DX-66 at GW today

[mr_fixer]

Hi Ya'll, I went to the GW today and saw something i hadn't seen in a while. A Realistic DX-66 AM, FM, AIR and 3 SW band radio. It worked but had a scratchy volume and band switch, and it looked like it had a light gray paint over spray. It was less than $5 did I goof up by not getting it? Logan

I don't know, but I'd probably would have snagged it, I like to collect radios, usually multi-band ones. I have a Realistic Patroman SW-60 that gets 30-50 Mc, 108-174 Mc and 450 - 512 Mc emergency bands along with 6 - 18 Mc shortwave and AM/FM which are still in use by many agencies, especially here in Pittsburgh. My father has one similar but his gets CB instead of shortwave, he calls it his "crisis radio." The DX-66 I vaguely remember. One nice radio, I bought for my friend a long time ago, I'd like to get one myself, is the old DX-360.
