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.
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.
Good times.

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.
SDA1 is far too expensive. If you meant (SDA1a) instead if 2a well that is first gen SDA1. Two things give it away 1. Midwoofer ports. 2. Old RTA interconnect 3prong socket.

Probably not a deal, but I have interacted with this seller before & he is usually negotiable.
Yup, bought my first set of SDA2b's from him...nice guy who was willing to negotiate
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.
This is what we have...

I picked up a set of 11TL's with boxes for $150 a month or so ago..
Their still in the boxes...don't know what to do with them.
Sounds like a great karma!
Pull them out, wire them up, and LISTEN to them.
