That was a big deal. We were pretty hard up back then, but she took on a temporary, seasonal job and saved up her money to get it for me. I believe the model had been just recently been discontinued and Radio Shack was selling them off at a clearance price.
In 1994 there was still lots to listen to on short wave.
A few months after I got this radio, I started a new job that involved a lot of travel and a lot of nights in hotel rooms. This radio became my travel companion. I took it everywhere. About ten years later, I replaced it with a newer Sangean model which became my travel radio until I retired.
The old DX 370 is getting a little beat up looking but it still works great. I still use it every day.
