Harman Kardon Citation II KIT on ebay
« on: February 18, 2011, 04:33:25 PM »
   Has anybody been watching this kit on ebay?  Man I would love to score this, but the price is getting out of hand for me...  This was found at an estate sale according to the ad. Local to us in New Kensington, PA.  Wish I would have found that sale!!
   So, if any of you guy's had it, would you build it, or let it sit for another 40 years.

Here is a link.

The funny thing is you would still have to replace all those caps!

Somebody is going to pay a lot of money for this and never build it.  This is a collector's only piece.

Plus you can buy better amp kits today.

He also has a Teac reel to reel, new in box, on ebay going for $365.  Probably from them same estate.  I would guess they paid next to nothing for those two pieces.  A real score.

It looks real nice, it would be fun to build, but way to high a price.

Scott (Bmwr75) just picked up a Teac 3300SX a couple of weeks ago.

Got it for a lot less than the ebay rtr.  But, it still will require a Teac specialist to get it working right.  Amazing since it looks very good.
