I’ve had good luck finding RF-2200s at cheap prices ($15-$25 area). I think I have 4 right now. One is my bedside radio.

The first one I paid about $100 for, and ever since, when I find them cheap, I buy.

The only problem I have had is the AC power supply died in one, but it still works on batteries. The tuning mechanism got damaged (my fault), but it’s still usable.

The bandswitch gets noisy on all of them, and eventually the dial lights burn out. If I ever get around to it, I would consider replacing them with LEDs.

I know a guy who swears by GE Superadios, but I’ve never had one. They’re generally well thought of, though.

Wow! That is some great luck. I just checked Ebay to see where the market is on them and they are still around the $200 mark. If you get short on cash your set.
