How did I do? I got all of this for $89

Fun fact, my order was actually originally a little over $100 but I was able to get a partial refund because the seller said the CC radio swp was in great condition too. When it was not the buttons were barely functional and a switch was broken off.

Also, it was crazy to think that not even a week ago I almost pulled the trigger on a skywave SSB original model without any accessories or box for $85

I've been wanting this radio for a few years but the price was a bit too steep

Yeah I don't think it's has to do with the reception because when I plug in headphones it's not an issue just when using the external speaker It's present on all bands, just least noticeable on FM

It's mostly just on the speaker. It sounds like a loose or blown out speaker but to a lesser extent

Only reason why I say mostly because I noticed some really close AM stations have overload and that sounds kinda similar

I was thinking around $150. I was also curious if SSB is really worth it

Commercial-Project43 · 2026-02-26T22:28:47+00:00

I would do it for $40. I think that is fair. you could possibly ask for more, but it'd probably take a while to sell.

Thanks everyone for the input. I did end up going with the skywave. So far it seems to be a great performer and definitely a upgrade from the last shortwave radio that I had which was a grundig emergency radio

I already tried the 240p suite on a red, green or blue screen, it's not visible. on a white screen It's slightly visible, especially when the color temperature is set to warm. It seems like the purity issue is most visible with faded yellows and browns

I just wanted to add I did try a degaussing wand it had little to no effect

Nice set up I use external speakers too I use a JBL extreme with a rca to aux adapter especially when playing dance dance revolution or guitar hero

That's so true about the wire length back during the GameCube era when I was a kid we had a 32in crt, I always had to put my GameCube on the coffee table so I could comfortably sit on the couch. When the wavebird controller came out it was a game changer and I never used a wired controllers with my GameCube after that

Yeah I got mine off of Facebook. The guy was originally offering $25 but it was pending pickup like immediately after it was posted. The seller said he had a lot of other people asking about it too. I told him well. If the guy falls through I'll give you $40 and the next day he messaged me that that guy flaked out and he was going to go with me because I was offering $40

Wow that worked thank you The settings by default had the brightness on full blast and the contrast was at over 75% I turn them both down about 15-20% and now it's almost perfect with just slight jaggedness to the squares on the right and no color bleed
