Kurt it wasn't me who asked.  I agree that after initial great interest (based on their rarity....only some 1052 units were produced), the price has fallen.  Obviously the big question is what will happen from here.  Personally, unlike other similar era premium receivers, I've found the 2050 to be highly reliable, and as Baruch mentions, solve the heat issue from the power supply, and you have one sweet and reliable receiver!   That and the odd sticky key!........Walt.
