Item temporarily unavailable

MacBook Mid 2007 (A1181). 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. 2GB SDRAM. Running 10.7.5

Trying to replace SATA drive with SSD. Can get to MacOS Recovery. Attempt to install OS X Lion. Get "item temporarily unavailable." Tried Command + R, Option + Command + R, and Shift + Option + Command + R. All stop with message "item is temporarily unavailable.

I have checked iTunes to see if I could download 10.7, but it is not listed

I do not want to erase my existing SATA since it is still working, but SSD would make system run faster.

I found a way to put 10.7.5 onto the SSD. I had to do an image clone from Disk Utility, Then I was able to boot from SSD. I finally went to Recovery Utility and did a factory reset using SSD.
