Noticed an unbuilt SW-7800 on Ebay going for... $2075(!). Item number
3089802130 . Not far (on same page) I see JRC NRD-92+NDH-93 for
roughy same amount (including shipping from S.Korea). 32 bids for
SW-7800!!! Larry Magne once rated it as the worst
digital receiver of its time. Are these people insane?
It's not so much that it's an SW-7800. It's because it's unbuilt.
Unbuilt Heathkits are *extremely* rare. Having said that, I wouldn't
pay $2100 for *any* Heathkit, but there are collectors out there!
