I now have the RX in hand. It appears complete, no major
dings, all the knobs appear to be the originals, just the
little bit of rust along the cabinet edge above the center
of the front panel. Since I have no way to power it up
or test it I am selling it AS IS.
The owner and I are going to split the $$ 50/50.
Shipping will be actual costs from 91007.
I will borrow a digital camera and shoot a few pics over
the weekend and send them out to whomever wishes
them.
