I have a Royal 7000 I bought at a yard sale when I was 11 for $6. It is in excellent condition and has the manual, handle pamphlet, suction cup AM antenna, and original battery tubes. The only issue with the 7000 that I think many owners would agree with me on is the door sliding mechanism. Mine is damn hard to use, and as such has scraped the aluminum with the compass thing on it. This radio is what got me into shortwave. I would spend hours tuning across all the bands; partly to watch the roller move them. It's such a satisfying click. I don't think I will ever sell it; nothing could replace the memories it has brought me.
