Are you serious?

Here's a current auction on the Trans Oceanic R-520A/URR.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MEWA:IT

If you don't want to go quite that high, the leather-covered R-600L can usually be had for $600 or so.

The less rare tube-era TO's are frequently available for around $150-$200 depending on condition.

The solid-state models are developing quite a following. There's some difference of opinion on which one is worthwhile. The end of the production runs are thought to be of lower quality. You need to do some studying! These can get a littly pricey, too!

You can start here:

Good luck! They're a lot of fun!
