Long-revered holy grail to many shortwave enthusiasts, the RF-2200 was sold between 1977-1982. If you’ve been seeking one of these, you’ll be happy to know they can still be found out “in the wild.” This one, for example was found in midtown Manhattan for $30–can you believe it? This is a very desirable radio for many reasons–probably because it was such a popular radio when originally sold. The tape tuning dial was the mark of a good quality radio–the switches are solid, typical of a nice Panasonic.
