And let's not forget the Knight Kit Star Roamer. For $39.95 you could buy it in kit form, and those who successfully built it had a rig that sort of looked kinda like an S-120 and performed kinda like a DX-150. Bruce On 5/13/2011 1:42 PM, Russ Edmunds wrote: However the Realistic DX-150 wasn

In 1957 I owned a SX-38. When I went into the navy, my mother dicided that I no longer needed such things and gave it away. Also given away was all my Tops baseball cards. Somehow she missed my Radio-TV Experimenter mags with Whites radio log from 1954 to 1960. I still have them. Willis, K4A

The S-38 series ended and then the S-120 emerged. The S-38 series was way better on AM as it did NOT have a ferrite bar antenna. They both have the capacity to electrocute you if you are not careful. They are AC-DC sets and a metal cabinet. NOT GOOD! I have an S-53A that's been sitting around fo
