looking at the last remaining 60+ NIB 818s left on the market, would you pay $850 for one?
i have one, purchased used a few years ago because i regretted selling my 20+ yr-old 817 and a NIB 817... but to be honest, i have not used it as much as i thought i would - considering the features of my 705 and TX-500...
i have enjoyed many memorable outings with the 817/8, as it was my first HF rig... i have since sold off my other 20-year-old rigs, but still have the 818...
