[QUOTE="Fid, post: 4281304, member: 7724"]when they started to be mass-produced after transistors got so cheap, they lost to be luxury status. 2-band high and mid replaced the single band and another system (superhet) around 1954/5. the advantage was size and low energy-consumption. Japan started to destroy the US and European markets with cheaply produced but good quality items end-50s into the 60s - be it cars, motorcycles etc.. it's nice that it has its original travelling pocket and seems working okay. prices are all over the place.[/QUOTE]
