Don't do business with the Huntington Investment Company.


$2,000 for a 30 year old receiver???


Sure, 900+ for the R7, probably 900 for the RV75 and then, very rare is the adapter
that enables the RV75 to be used with the R7/A and one has a sweet set-up.


It's still a dated design that now contains 30 year old electronics.
When new it may have been a sweet setup but that was 1980. The
National HRO500 was a sweet setup when new in 1965, but it is long
past it's prime. As with the R7.


Good luck to all.
