Tell me where one can buy a brand new AG-1980.... that 500% figure is moot when the deck isn't made anymore.
Panasonic sure knows how to pack a deck with boards though (AG-1980 diagram below). They are nice enough to not even show the 3000 screws holding that mess together (not to mention the many capacitors that go bad).
