That's the "Buy it now", not the reserve.

First, it's none of your business what the seller asks -- if you don't like it,
don't bid on it.

LOL, you need to relax, and calm down. I'm assuming you're the seller
maybe? If not sit down and chill a little.


Secondly, "too high" depends on whether or not it sells at that price, not your
(or my) opinion.

Please get a life. If you aren't the seller, why are you so upset?


Thirdly, the price of one Kenwood has very little to do with the value of a
different model.

Since the TS850S is a much better receiver than a R5000 (if you dispute
that, well, it's your opinion alone, for the most part), AND has a 100
watt transmitter in the same box, it should be worth more.

I've owned 2 R5000's. Nice audio, but $700 is just not a realistic price
for a 20 year old, or close to it, receiver that runs very hot on AC
power.

I'm not so sure about the 'very hot' part. I've had one, didn't run hot, nor does the
Drake R8 series which some think run to hot...

I guess the mods to move the regulators to the outside were just for
grins, right? I had two of them, and they ran way too hot on AC power
for my tastes.

You are a wimp!


Those regulators were super hot.

You're a pussy!

If you would have taken
the cover off, it was more than obvious. I wonder how many R5000's
failed due to one of those regs cooking itself to death.

Michael Savage? Holy ****!

Good luck in your DX conqests... try to keep up!

Larry,

That is correct the $700 is the Buy-It-Now Price.

Figure a 70% to 85% Reserve Price based on the
$700 Buy-It-Now Price : The Reserve would be in
the range of $490 to $595.

Seems to be Two (2) "Interested" Bidders so far.

imho - at this price-point there are several other
swl receivers that are worth considering ~ RHF

The absolute most I personally would go would be about $500. No way even
$600. My luck would be it would work ok, except the keypad would start
the keybounce thing.

There are R71A's, NRD525's, etc out there for a lot less. I would take a
525 over a 5000, anytime. For $700, you're close to NRD535 territory.

LOL! Someone used the buy it now! Amazing.

Super hot?????????? Not hardly.

I haven't heard of one. The receiver has been around since 1987 so I
would assume that stories of R5000 receivers burning up from "super
heat" would be all over the net by now. How many failures have you
read of that are traceable to overheating. Indeed how many of those
receivers have failed for any reason. Not many in my experience.

Dont know either, but I know mine ran HOT. And just for the lost energy
alone it was enough for me to decide and buy an external 13,8v supply.
Now I can safely put something on top of the rx again (like a logbook or
guide) without having to worry about all that heat...

And I've owned stereos that put out some heat but ran for years. The
real question is whether Kenwood engineers considered the heat in the
radio design. Given the radio's excellent design, high performance
and record of reliability I suspect they did. The radio was well
vented so the heat was dissipated.
