John, not only is this an obscene price, BUT it’s the later stereo version, which supposedly sounds nowhere near as good as the original! It’s far lighter, though, so you won’t break your back carrying it  :-)  I was lucky enough to pick up my mono Solina five (?) years ago for £375, complete with a ‘separate variable volume on all three chorus circuits’ mod.

The auction claims that it's nearly 100% original, Mark, so I doubt they've recapped it.

I would also love one of these,  Seems a lot of money, I wonder if the capacitors have been replaced?

I've wanted one of these for years, but don't have anything approaching the required money, so if anyone here wants one, I found this one for sale:
