Put your thinking cap on. This is obviously for sale by one of those
outfits that cruises about looking for stuff to sell. Probably know
nothing about radio.

There is no reserve on the radio, and it is currently at $909.00.

Could be a good deal for someone who might figure that even if there
is something wrong with it, they can still get it serviced, up and
running, for a very good price vs. the cost of a new one.


This radio has had ROM revisions and this one may not have the latest.

It also has stickers on it that look like it may have been in
industrial use (calibration and ID stickers) in which case there is a
lot of hours on it. The radio has some long term use issues, which may
or may not have been mitigated by air conditioning in a rack.

Chances are the special bulb for the meter is out. You might be able to
get a replacement from Ten-Tec but it is not listed as a separate item
in the parts list. I replaced mine with LEDs.

My overall impression of the set was: "Damn, that's certainly some expensive
aluminium sheet!"
