About 8 weeks ago I picked up a set of speakers and a C32/MC2205 in a neighboring state. Took the better part of a day, but I drove over and picked them up. The speakers are quite rare and were worth the drive to me. At the time the seller was keeping the MR78. I got a message from him last night that he is offering to sell me the MR78 at a really good price, throwing in a walnut case with slant legs. He is willing to meet me at the border.
One of the first responses from this forum on my new gear was to try and get an MR78 to complete the package. However, my own person usage would mean the MR78 would probably never be used. This purchase would simply be to have the complete set. I never listen to the radio, I have a tuner in my Sunfire that I have only used once about a dozen years ago. There is a good chance this system my not end up in a beautiful display case. The MR78 probably going unused.
Can I get some opinions on this purchase? Would I be foolish to “let it go” and there by splitting up the set that was originally purchased together. Or should I move forward only collecting the things that I truly use in my system. I do not have the available funds, but can get them, however, I think the drive is the part that I am having a hard time of convincing myself.
What would you do?
