4 Sale Hallicrafter SX-88, and R-46B

[Gary Harmon]

Good morning ALL.  I must agree with Ken.  Given a list of the most prized
BA collectibles the Hallicrafters SX-88 would be near the top which means
that it doesn't matter what we say or think about the asking price, the
market will decide if the asking price is too high, too low or just right.
I, like Ken, believe the price to be fair, based on the stated condition of
the radio and if I didn't have to sell all my Heathkits for the $$ would
seriously consider chasing the elusive SX-88.

Posting of price complaints should be made directly to the seller and not
the list.  Just my $150,000 cents worth.  :o)

Very best 73,
gary
