I have owned two of those; one I bought new at Adray's for a very reduced price when it had sat there 6 years unsold. The other I bought used and damaged from an abusive Mideastern prince whose father had given it to him along with a new Ferarri and a $1,000,000 penthouse for his 16th birthday. That one was badly hacked up, and I paid $500 in about '86. TV collector Eric S has that one in New Hampshire now. I think this eBay one could be the Adray's set that I once owned. I sold it to a fellow in Sherman Oaks in '88. It was missing the plackard, as this one is. And it was missing the video rack as this one is. Too much coincidence! And it is true that the MSRP was $10,000 in 1981, and that it weighs 510 lbs 7 oz. I was given the figure of 200 shipped to the USA, and 1000 total built. The owners manual was pigskin bound, and the 2nd remote was also tamo ashwood.
I would bid on it, but the CRT is $4300.00 at Andrews so I don't suppose I'll be ordering it!
