When recently searching for an SL-2700, I found lots of SL-2710's
mail order for around $740. I located an SL-2700 for $1045 plus
tax at "TOPS" in central jersey near Edison. They are not a mail order
outfit to my knowledge.
Wisconsin Discount Stereo told me that SONY (once again hell-bent on
suicide in the market place) ruled last march that it would no longer 
allow its equipment to be sold mail order. I did not believe it at
first, but look at the ads nowadays. I now believe.
Over the years I have bought an unusual amount of Sony stuff either
at deep discount from stores, or, most often, at even deeper discount
from mail order. I would not have bought any of it at list.
Sorry, Sony. It's been nice knowing you. I especially liked your
SL-2700. Maybe I can afford your stereo decoder if you ever make one
(for TV).
