Darn!
If they still had them, I was going to tell them I had a friend close to them that would buy them after looking at them in person. But...I was probably next in line. Sorry.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
Not really sure if its a deal (they seem a little abused) but I've never heard of the Signature Edition, is there anything special about them other then the little plaque?

I got some just like those. Work good and yes i have all sonicaps in mine but never bought RD-0194's for them. I had plenty of SL1000's lol

I have a feeling these will be sitting a while for that price... -

looking closely at the pics, they seem to suffer from being stored in a musty basement for 10 years. Everything looks oxidized and just not right. -

That's OK, it just adds to the vintage of them....So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

I had to lol at the "black paint" tweeter on these. I am guessing (hoping) its disconnected. I assume someone put SL2000's in it and then it got upgraded crossovers and RD0's. I suppose with one SL2000 and one RD0 it looked like it had a back eye
.
One might be able to put a fill in the screw holes from the SL2000 and put a cover plate over the unused tweeter. -
Good eye! I didn't even see that!
Like I've said before...maybe I need stronger glasses.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
That's not a black eye, that's a seductive wink!

But I wonder how it sounds. Maybe there's a 12" passive on the backside.

Sorry only a 10 inch.........
But even though this is a horror.............you have to admit it is kind of cool (or at least a cool idea). Batteries, amp and volume control too. This guy thought of everything.
I wonder if you can modify them to take an SDA interconnect if you get two ?

With the gorilla? -
My old man had a Samsonite just like that
-
I have that exact Samsonite suitcase, same color, wheels and all. I'll donate it. You guys build it and let me know!

Dropped from a plane too.
I just looked for it and couldn't find it.

I think so but that was a long time ago......... 70's-early 80's?
Only suitcase commercial I remember. -

When is the last time you seen ANY suitcase commercials? I bet it's been decades for me.

Drew, those H&K receivers are no joke. I had one briefly, it had a distortion problem on start up but once she warmed up she sounded wonderful. I couldn't stand the distortion though and I returned it. I'd bet money the tape and turntable are nice as well. If you are looking for an affordable vintage receiver that is fairly pretty, grab it.
Plus it comes with Monitor 7s, and $325 is a deal in my book. -

Well it's $350 but I could probably talk him down to $325. And I agree, I would love to play with this as a second system, but I literally have no where to put it. I bet it would be a lot of fun to listen to though. -
LOL on that suitcase...
my buddies and I have a set of "buckets" we use when camping, 5 gal buckets stuffed with poly and then drivers secured to a piece of plywood stuffed inside the opening. All sealed up tight with caulk.
In the middle of the woods, hooked up to a car stereo & amp inside an old toolbox, on a set of rotating car batteries, it's surprisingly loud, and surprisingly balanced sounding. We string rope and hang em from trees to get the proper toe-in aimed at the seats around the camp fire.
