GREAT LOOKING WORKING CLASSIC
REALISTIC/RADIO SHACK/ALLIED
DX-150A RECEIVER
WORKS FINE AND LOOKS GREAT
RETURN IF NOT AS ADVERTISED
ALLIED RADIO/RADIO SHACK/REALISTIC PROVIDED MANY OF US A SOURCE FOR INEXPENSIVE RADIO PARTS AS WELL AS EQUIPMENT MANY YEARS AGO. I STILL REMEMBER GETTING THEIR ANNUAL CHRISTMAS CATALOG AND DREAMING ABOUT THE EQUIPMENT I'D LIKE TO BUY BACK IN THE '50'S AND '60'S.
ONE OF THEIR NEAT RECEIVERS -- INTRODUCED IN 1969 -- WAS THE DX 150 LINE. THIS IS THE SOMEWHAT IMPROVED DX-150A MODEL. IT SPORTS OVER 30 SOLID STATE DEVICES AND COVERS THE BROADCAST BAND TO 30 MHZ IN FOUR BANDS. IT HAS AN ANTENNA TRIMMER, BFO, AF/RF GAINS, AGC, ANL, AND S METER.
THIS IS A NICE ONE. IT WORKS -- AND IT LOOKS VERY VERY NICE.
ALL KNOBS FUNCTION AS THEY SHOULD WITH BOTH THE MAIN DIAL AND BANDSPREAD WORKING FINE.
THE BAND SPREAD IS DIVIDED INTO THE "OLD" HAM BANDS FOR THE AMATEUR RADIO OPERATOR. KIND OF NEAT TO USE.
OTHER THAN DUSTING THIS OFF, I DID NOTHING TO IT. AND IT CAME TO LIFE ON ALL BANDS.
BROADCAST BAND WAS FINE, 80/40/15 METERS WERE ALIVE WITH BOTH CW AND SSB. IN ADDITION I PULLED IN FOREIGN BROADCAST AND WWV.
ALL IN ALL, IT WORKS.
THE CABINET IS STRAIGHT AND NOT TRANSGENDER. THERE ARE A FEW SCRATCHES ON THE ORIGINAL PAINT CABINET, BUT IT LOOKS PRETTY NICE.
THE S METER SEEMS A LITTLE STINGY BUT MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I USED A SHORT PIECE OF WIRE ON THE FLOOR TO GET RECEPTION.
THIS RECEIVER WILL WORK OUT OF THE BOX OR YOU RETURN IT. THAT SAID, IT WOULD PROBABLY BENEFIT FROM THE USUAL -- DEOXIT, TIGHTENING DOWN CHASSIS SCREWS, DOING THE SIMPLE ALIGNMENT LISTED ON THE INTERNET, ETC. ETC.
I THINK THE NEW OWNER WILL BE PLEASED WITH THIS ORIGINAL CLASSIC. I FOUND NO MYSTERY HOLES, WIRES, OR PARTS.
FOR A SMALL FEE I WILL MARK THE BOX "AUTOMOTIVE PARTS" IF IT HELPS KEEP PEACE AT HOME.  ASK FOR DETAILS.
QUESTIONS?  JUST ASK. NO RESERVE.
