Yep, it's been at that price for a number of days now. Hopefully
someone has realized just how much work is going to have to go into this
thing.

What I pointed out to the seller is that my #908 was dated 1973 (per M&J), thereby making his 1973 or beyond.
$899?  Are you kidding?  W.C. Fields had it right . . . there's one (you know) born every minute.

Addendum: The seller also wrote back to me stating his belief that the frame/etc. was true, while acknowledging that it did need a lot of work.  Does anyone on the list live close enough to this beast to have actually inspected it during its eBay run?  Or is it in as bad a condition as the MusicMaster 600 that I checked out in L.A.?  I figured that in the best-case scenario, the blue monster would need at least another $3K of work.
