1147348 2010-10-29 04:53:00 I still have an FRG-7 which I used a lot at one time.See a FRG 7 on ebay, "supposedly brand new". In a sealed plastic bag, part of an estate. Could be real, maybe. Asking $500 US dollars! !
They had 8 D size batteries in the back of the cabinet, as well as 240v power. A heavy portable!
