Good for you Tom ! I would look for a later serial number TR-7, with the "A" type features. It may even be labeled a TR-7A. Anyway, it is a great rig. I started with a used one about 26 years ago, and mine is still going strong (a little TLC over the years has kept it that way!). the serial number is in the 8600's, and had the "A" items already in it. The ones on ebay right now are pretty neat, but one looks like it is a lower serial number. They are VERY functional rigs actually, and don't have all the bells and whistles of todays rigs, but most of that stuff doesn't have much to do with catching the rare DX, or doing a great job of constesting !!!
