- I have a chance to buy a used Kenwood R-5000 receiver.

The Kenwood R-5000 is a Very Good Radio / Receiver IMHO.

- I wanted to ask if anyone has an R-5000 and how they like
- it (both pros and cons).

I like mine works well + Sounds Good - Runs a little Hot.

'Bought mine 5 years ago used. Worked great for 3-4 hours then the PLL went
out. Kenwood wanted $200 for the repair(they are the only ones with the
chips). On top of the $200 that I paid for the trash, repair was out of the
question. It's now stored away in a dark corner of the basement never to
see daylight again, unless I win the Lotto and have the money to "squander".
