Wow...that's a lot of money for an old boatanchor!!

If I know Chuck Rippel he did an excellent restoration job on it.

I'm sure he did a good job. It is still a massive radio that is really
outdated. Hope he includes the optional R390 band scanning tool - a
3/8" reversible drill mounted to the tuning knob!

It's a nice radio. You should learn to maintain them yourself though.
You'll save a lot of money.

It is a rather difficult to use and maintain receiver that is really
dated in comparison to modern tabletop receivers. A rack mount radio
of that size and weight seems a little silly today. But to each his
own I guess.

It's the best bang for the buck out there. Incredibly sensitive,
especially competent in difficult RF environments (e.g. a big city).
