I have only owned one MR78, bought it for $500, sold it for nearly twice that in the mid to late 1980's, and the buyer had me ship it to audioclassics for the Modiferri mods http://www.audioclassics.com/mods and they shipped it on to him. I sure would have liked to play with it after they had it, but people in hell want icewater. If i were you i would pick up one of the Sony XDR-f1hd's or a Sansui 717, sell the Mac, and move to a place where I could put up a decent antenna! (or see what I could get with the Sony and any antenna I could get away with.)
