  Another good source for quality short-wave receivers at low
prices is the Ham Radio "hamfest" flea markets.  You'll find a lot
of very old junk, but also some very good equipment.  Usually a Ham
will take rather good care of a piece of equipment, and then decide
to upgrade to something fancier.  

  You might say "I want to listen to all the bands, not just the
Ham frequencies!"  Well, Hams are "real" folks too, and lots of
them like to listen to foreign broadcasts and other such things.

  If you can find a friend who's a Ham, ask him to wander around
the flea market with you.  He can usually spot the really good
bargains.  

Cheers, (and 73)
