If you find it, let me know lol. Your best bet is to keep an eye on Ebay, craigslist and te classifieds section at thew RFfourms. Making a want to buy thread in RF forum should be the first step imo. BTW I have 2 first gen Punch HX2s. I wouldn't consider this era "vintage". It may be approaching "ol skool" but far from Vintage. I don't consider anything after the 'HD" days vintage.

Wait until these are relisted at a more reasonable amount. They look in great shape, but that6s way to high. I wouldn't pay more than $200 shipped for a pair.

BTW, none of the above is mine lol. Just posted what I felt Vintage was, then ol skool can include DSM era, but this stuff is vintage.

Here is my 2 RF Punch 150's I have been running faithfully since 1990 along with a RF XV-1 active electronic crossover & a RF PA-1HD pre-amp EQ (not pictured). All from 1989 era.

Do you have the preamp's that are supposed to go with the PR-2100's. Those are custom modified. The original PR-2100 did not have knobs on the front, the PR-2100 type II had the frequency adjustment knobs on the front. They also did not have RCA inputs, it was a single 5 pin DIN. The PR-2100 was basically two PR-250 housed together in one chassis designed to be bi-amped. Way ahead of their time, there were only maybe two cassette decks that were preamps only when the 2100 came out. The Alpine 7307 and the Pioneer KEX-20 or KEX-9500. I had to take my Jensen R410 Cassette deck (one of the best at the time) to a tech to have the supplied 5 pin din soldered to the preamp section.

The matching Pioneer components the CD-5/CD-7 preamp equalizer and GM-120 were nice but the Fosgate easily trumped them.

I paid $472 for the PR-2100 back in like '79 - '80 and was the envy of many people back then. I had Jensen Triax II's 6x9's that were bi-ampable they were capable of handling the power in the doors of my truck and the 4" ones in the rear pillars.

The first time I heard a PR-2100 was in a '79 T/A 6.6 ***** Am the guy had a portable Nakamichi 250 cassette deck mounted on the armrest the preamp was mounted in the stock deck location (I loved the long tri-color LED power display) he had the Cerwin Vega CS-15 HED's in the rear deck and in place of the rear seat cushion's he had a pair of Klipsch Heresy's. It was unreal!

The only system at the time that would compete was the Alpine setup with the 7307 cassette, 3011 mini-EQ with the 3001 time delay and a pair of the 3002 50W + 50W power amps.

Nice collection of classics you have there. Another worthy mention from the same era was the Craig V503 which was a 36W x 36W (72W) amp and a cool backlit parametric equalizer with 4 adjustable knobs. Very nice sounding.

Not my collection, just some notables from the RF forum. Those PR2100s are supposedly Protos from one of Jims own personal vehicles. Even rarer than your standard PR2100 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
