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. -
my 3.1TLs
I will fix your shifted magnets for free. -

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.

@FestYboy , I think you were on the hunt for a pair of Monitor 12s.
https://delaware.craigslist.org/ele/d/wilmington-vintage-polk-monitor-12/6835170433.html
Probably not a deal, but I have interacted with this seller before & he is usually negotiable.

I've bought from him as well, NAD C320BEE last time I was down there.
You're right on both counts, not a deal, but negotiable. -
Those are beautiful! Sucks! We never get good stuff here... :'(
This is what we have...

I have one actually. The cassette deck needs some work on mine but that Panasonic actually sounds darn good for a boombox.

I've been keeping an eye on these for awhile now..
No affiliation...

You are not going to buy the pin/blade cable on eBay for $25. The last one I watched went for $85 and it was after market RCA with outside ground petals ground off.
-
Yes... but either way at least theres a lot of good parts especially if one could get the price down...
-
Heres another one up on the auction block...

Opps... forgot the pic..
