I'm researching a purchase. The rig is an Alinco DR-610TQ
dual band mobile. Rig comes with no box but everything
else (mobile bracket/mic/manual/power cord). The manual
looks a little tattered and the mobile bracket has some
paint wear near the screw locations but the rig/mic itself
are 100% mint looking. I even looked at the cooling fan
for dust build up - nothing - 100% clean.

The rig is 100% electrically and puts out 48 watts VHF and
37 watts on UHF. Mars cap mod has been done.

I can't find anything derogatory on the net about this rig.
http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/1250 has product
reviews for this rig and they look good.

I found an old QRZ for sale ad asking (and getting) $350
for one of these, used with box but that was in 2003.

I can own this one for $175 with a 30 day return policy.

On the surface this seems too good to be true. Is it?

Sorry if this seems to be a dumb question but I just
mailed Elecraft $700 and I'm cautious about spending
more $$$ this month. Still - I don't want to pass up on
what seems to be a great deal.
