My HRO 60 with speaker and all the usual coil trays and wooden cabinet cost
me $550 and it is a 9. It had also been recapped and aligned. I probably
paid too much for it but it was exactly what I was looking for. Nostalgia
is a wonderful thing but can be satisfied by very small bites. My AM
station sits here unused while I play radio with modern stuff but they are
nice to look at.

Bob I hope you are kidding??????? I have a HRO 60R with the 60SC-2
combination unit. The cosmetics are just above fair but it works very
well.
I would never thought my HRO 60 would bring anywhere near 600. Wonder
what the speaker, coil storage unit would be worth?
I turned down a HRO 60 some time back that was missing one knob and had
the 4 standard coils for 275. It would have cleaned nicely and with the
knob, to me, would have been a fair buy, but I didn't want to clean it and
align. I know the seller and he is a straight up guy. Did I miss a
barging?

About $600 for a good one, which is cheap compared to Collins stuff. I
am sitting here looking at my HRO 60 and Valiant, which were the
equipment I had back in the 50's. Ahhh what memories.
