A question

[W5LZ]

I've run across an HF Icom radio for sale, it's an IC-726. It's been out of production for 20 - 30 years? Does anyone have any knowledge of these things, a general price range etc. The asking price is $200 which I think if it works at all is a pretty good deal. Is it??

ICOM

My friend has 3 of these, 2 work and 1 for parts, parts are not made and seems no one has
a substitute, they drift a bit until warmed up, asking price is about right.
That's all he told me.
