This R7 is headed for a record price for an Ebay
sale.

Amazing commentary on value of these fantastic receivers.
From my scanning of R7 Ebay items over the past year, value
for these on average is now up well past $1300 or more for
specimens in excellent condition, with R7As fetching even
higher:

Eek. Mechanical bandswitch...

Properly maintained, that bandswitch will outlive the mechanical encoders in
today's radios.
Sold my R7 and NB ( no add filters) for $600 6 years back. Although it was a
nice RX and had better PBT than today's RX, I really do not miss it.
Now, the Davco DR-30, will be buried with me:

That's a cool radio. If I ever decide to get funky with an old school
radio again it'll likely be an R-388 that I stumble across (I'm not
going to pay E-Bay prices for one). I've had the Hallis and couple
390As and have an NC-125 in the garage.

The bands are so sucky so often it's hard to stay focused.
