Actually hotrod I picked up the radio, the VFO-820 external vfo, and the MC-50 microphone for a VERY good price.The radio and vfo are mint,no scratches or dings anywhere and not even any rub marks on the front panel.It was not even dusty inside except for a tiny bit in the PA cage.The red plate voltage scale is very slightly faded from sunlight but that is all.Several guys told me I made out like a bandit that day with the steal I had gotten.The seller said the VFO-820 didn't work but all it was was a broken cable connecting it to the radio.The original owner,I'm the third, must have really babyed this rig.I will continue to do so as well.
