Sure, if you're a "collector" looking for one. Depending on condition
though, I don't think it's a bad price if the unit is in decent shape.
I had a couple of HQ-120X receivers over the years, the last one with
the matching speaker. Always regretted selling them, despite having a
129 still waiting in the wings. It's a good receiver, good size, looks
like an old receiver should. The RBG does have those honkin' big
nomenclature plates affixed to the center of the front panel, though.

When you think about it, $200 doesn't buy you a lot of radio these days, Avery.

Let us know what you decide. RBGs aren't rare, but they aren't as
plentiful as the civvy version either.
