eBay find: NOS Kenwood R-1000 Receiver
by Thomas from The SWLing Post on (#2T4GP)
Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Dan Robinson, who discovered this like new Kenwood R-1000 on eBay. Dan notes:
This just went up on Ebay - a seemingly new and unused R-1000. Price is actually not high for one in this condition [$450 US]. I would jump on this if I didn't already have one in this shape".
The seller also has a "Make Offer" option. Perhaps they would even be more flexible? I've never owned an R-1000, but I do love the simple design and have used it enough to know it's a great receiver with excellent audio. The fact that Dan Robinson and Dave Zantow give it such a good report speaks volumes.
