Heathkit SW-7800 madness !
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? |

Guess,these collectors have money to burn. I rather have an
NRD-92. At least Japan Radio Company is still in business... P.S. May be it is a hoax? |

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. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |

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 grin a KG4IJA |
