Then I guess my two Kenwood R-5000 Receivers
plus the Kenwood YK88-A1 AM Filters with the
Original Boxes and Manuals are still holding their
Value ) ~ RHF

If anyone has one of those inrad (or original kenwood) AM filters for
sale for the r5000 I'm still looking for one...

One of my R5000s didn't have the replacement filter when I got it, I
hoped it wouldn't be as bad as I heard it was without it, but I was
wrong, it was horrible. I got the Kenwood one, YK88 (I think) for $75 at
a local hamfest from some old guy. The box looked horrible, and he was
kind of one of those guys who always has a ton of HF rigs for high
prices, but I went for it anyway, and it worked perfectly. I made money
on it when I sold it about a year later.

Maybe Ebay might have one for a sane price..
