I for one am glad it is up on ebay, and that Steve mentioned it. I have the floor model in almost as good of shape (paid $50 last Fall) but it is missing the FM radio tuning dial. Now I at least have a good closeup of one.
I am wondering if there is an evaluation scam going on. Could it be that they need its value artifically high for insurance, or maybe charitable donation reasons?
It would certainly be a cheap way to do it, getting a couple of cohorts to bid it out of site, and then just have to pay the ebay fees. All legal too I think. Maybe we should all make copies of any ebay auctions that do this with sets we own, in case of a fire or somethin'?
