I have MK1, 2, 3 love them allI don,t think this is all that rare but I don't see this for sale on E-bay or any place that I look for radio,s on.It,s the OPTIMA MK 3 i got it new and it,s the 1st export I,v ever had and it,s a fine radio. It work,s & look,s like new to this very day.
We sold a ton of those back in the day. A lower priced basic radio like your 1-600 made them popular with first time buyers. An enduring survivor that’s also easy to repair or restore.Difficult to operate with all those controls, but......................
