For a collector, the military version of the TO is the rarest model of all, so if you want it bad enough, it's worth it.

Does it sound any different than a "regular" TO, no. The circuit is basically the same. Would I recommend it as a first radio for a new TO collector, no.

Use this link for a study guide. It's all the TO's that have sold on eBay in the last month. Should be a good intro for you!

Thanks for the search link.

My problem is I woulsd to avoid buying more than one T/O

I'd like to zero in on one that captures the whole history, at least for me.

So, for instance that could be a G500, a leather 600 or one of the military models.

It seems like few T/O fans stop at buying just one or even three or four different models.
