Very nice radio Mike, I like the green color too.  And yes, most of the shortwave portables were expensive.  I remember looking through a 1958 National Geographic magazine at an antique mall and in 1958 a Zenith Royal 1000 (their first solid state transoceanic) sold for $250.00!  My weekly allowance back in '58 was something like 25 cents a week, so it took 30+ odd years before I could afford one.
