Why don't you go there and see if they still have it.
There was an old-time electronics store in downtown Milwaukee, that had some really old NOS sets. One set in particular was an 18" Japanese built Olympic wooden table model. That thing had to be there at least 16 years.
One day, when I went there, it was gone. Some fool bought for the asking price, $239.00. They were really lousy sets.
I told the counterman, that he should've sold him the expressway bridge across the street, as well.
