stated it was made way back in 1984 !!

If not abused most semiconductors will work up to ten to fifiteen yrs
in continuous operation. Best scenario is if it meets your
satisfaction and transmitt intended power then it is worth it.

Methinks in 4 more years, you'll have an antique radidio...seriously, as
long as it was new (shrug)...maybe you got a better deal. Dunno much
about the Lincoln radios. Shouldn't be too difficult to research,
though.

You can buy an HF rig for little more than that.

What sort of HF rig??

I am pretty sure the Lincold/2510, was released around 1989 or so.

In any case, it is not the age, but use and condition. You have to learn to ask
questions to the seller. You obviously can ask questions. But people here know
little about your radio and it's condition.

You should have asked questions about the radio to the seller.

I just purchased a Uniden Grant LT new, ebay. Before I purchased it, I emailed
Uniden to ask if the LT was different from the XL. They said that it's the same
radio except for the DSC circuit and the backlight. I looked it up on the net,
and all the same XL mods work on the LT. The XL were going to $250 new, an the
LT were going for about $115 new.

I then asked the seller if if was new, where was the box and how did he aquire
it. Explained both with clarity. He also was not a huge seller, and had about 50
feedbacks with 100%. The guy panned out, and the radio was as described, new and
stock. No box.

I hate to say this, but you didn't do your homework. Learn andfrom this use
this for the next time.
