Hey I was just wandering about this radio, I have a chance to get one for about 250.00 just wanting to know is there any real problems with this radio, or is this a stable radio.

The radio looks like it just came out of the box, all lights, gages, knobs work perfect there are no lazy knobs and he says it has been taken real good care of.

I've got friends that use them on a regular basis and they sound great. Not the most stable sideband radio out there, not that it really matters on AM, though. I had one for about half a year and the power supply went out on it. I bought it for the same price that you did and it looked mint, too. Bought it from my friend, so I knew it wasn't mistreated...it was one of many radios that had that problem a while back. If its relatively new (1-2 years), you're probably safe.
