Even the cheapest one at $6000.00 is beond my wallet, although it sure is a sharp looking radio. Wonder how much the three models differ? Carl CEF-357 Flat lands Oklahoma |

I don't have the means to allow me to purchase a luxury item like this, but I guess there are those who do and will. I own a radio that cost $2000.00 when it was newly released to the market. The price slowly declined to about $1200.00 when it was clearanced, and I paid $800.00 for it and a desk microphone that regularly sold for $150.00 - both NIB. Maybe the price will come down to a more affordable level after a few years. |
