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?

Some people have a bad case of nostalgia but in all fairness, I can
think of a few things I would pay too much for too.


There's collectors for everything and anything! I saw a climbing gear
catalog from the 70's go for $200+ It's a classic and of course I've got a
mint one on the shelf ('74 Chouinard).

What's even crazier? I couldn't bring myself to sell my copy sheepish
