They are lovely radios. I have a near identical GF-6500 which I found in a charity shop. I thought it actually was the one I'd had as a child until I saw a GF-6000 and realised that was the one. The volume crackled on mine but I squirted a bit of flux cleaner on the pots and that sorted it out just fine. My girlfriend bought me a giant GF-9494 ghetto blaster for my birthday and it is amazing, but I have to admit, my soft spot is still with the GF-6500 :)
