Picked this up on eBay a few days ago, BIN at a price that was too good to pass up, less than a C-note including shipping!
I happened to come across the listing nearly as soon as it came up, it wouldn't have lasted another 10 minutes otherwise.
This thing is near mint and complete with the original box! The battery box doesn't look like it's ever had batteries installed as the holders are still wrapped in plastic, one small scratch on the top near the front.
The only functional defect I see it the 4 switches across the front aren't working properly, the buttons are on a toggle and they press on micro switches when pushed.
I pulled the bottom cover off and those switches seem to be stuck or the springs are shot because they don't pop back out. They look like common switches, the type you find in a lot of stuff with the exception of the button seems to be a little taller than usual. I'll look through the Mouser catalog and see if they have anything close.
