For sale my very nice Harman Kardon 680i Twin Power stereo receiver from around 1981 or so. The 680i is rated at 60 watts per channel and features HKs Twin Power design with very High Current Capability. It was their top of the line receiver 1981 to around 1983 and was there first to use a Quartz locked tuner.
The receiver is in very nice shape with a few very very light scratches shape and all controls and functions work as they should. Even the memory backup (whioch almost never works) does work as the original owner replaced the soildered in battery with a battery holder and put it up top Very smart. Even the little buttons are clean which is very rare. Faceplate is very nice and all lights work. No issues. Asking $149 Thanks,keith

    Hi Geppy,

    Thanks for the fast, bombproof shipping. The HK has been a bright spot in an otherwise dreary 35-day (self-employed) work stint and you were right, it extremely listenable, especially with the Bada HD-22 CDP i picked up from Travis 0810 (Thanks Travis!).

    These 2 components through my recently capped/rebuilt Monitor 5jr+'s are a real treat!

    Regards,
    Greg
