This Object

The item was offered to me through Internet contacts, the price was attractive. I used it to overhear Ham communications and many other transmissions. Also the radio needed some repairs and alignment from time to time.

But for each radio there is a time for buying and a time for selling. The purchase of a Philips D2999 made me use it less, it took a lot of space, and during a mess up round of 2013 I decided to sell it. It was bought by Fred, who later sent me a picture of the Debeg in his shack.
