Attention: communications receiver collectors! Not one, but two vintage ICOM IC-R series<\/strong> receivers have been listed on Ebay by the same seller.

Both receivers are described as “new in box”, with a variety of photos shown, including the original sales receipt with options listed. A tag on the IC-R71A shows the receiver originated at well-known Virginia retailer Electronic Equipment Bank (EEB). The R71A is of 1988 vintage, per the receipt; the R7000 may likewise be from the same year.<\/p>\n
