The front end is prone to failure (static damage?), but it is
repairable. The battery holder is a bit loose, but the memory failure
problems that results can be fixed by putting a capacitor across the
power supply.

I see on eBay that there is a "out of the box" 2010 that is currently
going for less than $200 US.

What is this radio worth? What did it cost when it first came out? Is
it worth it?

It seems alot of you either have one already, and would never give it
up.
