hey jon...

anything you can add to "There is a circuit board mounted on the keyboard
assembly of which I have no idea about function."

did you see this in person, or do you have the most amazing eyesight on
the planet? [cuz i can't see anything in the pics provided]

and price-wise, it DOES include an additional tape rack.
that's a couple hundred bucks right there, even if the tapes are trashed.
i don't think $3500 is that steep, especially for one that SEEMS to
be in very good shape [as this one does]. just IMHO of course.

best to all,
jeff
