Thanks for sharing this, Dan. Seems the seller is also accepting offers (asking price is $999.99 US). Any serious buyers should read the seller notes. The unit looks incredibly clean cosmetically, but would likely need a good electrical going-over and possible alignment.<\/p>\n

Even if, like me, it’s not in your budget to purchase a rare radio, I think we can all appreciate the photos:<\/p>\n
