HI,

Do you still have the 10B? Certainly a classic.

  Yes I do. I was listening to it in my main system for a couple of hours earlier tonight. I'll sometimes walk by it and pause to look at it even if it's not on.

    HI,
    Every once in a while I wander into ebay and search on the 10B. Usually there is at least one listed. Some are really nice. All are very expensive. All are worth the money.
    
    My problem, and the reason I have not made the jump, is that I don't seriously listen to FM anymore. Oh, I have several decent tuners and I do use them but only for background. That would be a waste for a classic like the 10B.
    
    I love the 10B. But for me it would serve more as a piece of hi fi art than as an essential part of my system. Kind of like having the Mona Lisa in my equipment rack.
    
    Over the years, there has not been a piece of hi fi equipment that has appealed to me as much as the 10B. Maybe someday.............

      It would be a lot of money for just background/not serious listening.
      NOBODY can reliably predict the future, but here is my 2 cents: with herd mentality the prices may drop with digital broadcasts coming. It will only be temporary as there will be converter boxes for those broadcasts, people will get over their fear, then the price will start back up. They are of limited supply and legenday status, some of the ingredients for an appreciating asset. If you keep an eye open, you may find your dream. Good luck.
