    Is this a "super nice" piece of gear?

    'Excellent condition'?



    And the kicker:

    '10A and B bands have been changed'
    Changed...to what?

    Reminds me of a 901DM I saw once.

    It might even be the same radio.
    That's scary.

    If you can't do the mod right DON'T do it at all, it just shows your inner CBer....

    Well... no. It's appearance is OK (but not "excellent"), but it sounds like the infamous Golden Screwdriver has been applied.

    If the price is right, get a service manual and go through it with the proverbial fine-tooth comb. 8)

    I'm not interested in the thing. However, the worst-looking of my '901DMs is still leagues better than that piece and I would hardly describe any of them as "excellent".

    What people try to pass off as "excellent" is laughable, especially when the beat-to-snot front panel is clearly depicted. Bet the power supply has issues too; note the disclaimer about "returns" in the ad...

    Okay, gang...



    "It looks almost unused as the fan has no huge build up of dust in, on or around it."
    Say WHAT?

    "Fully Tested, the rig is in excellent working condition, it needs to be used, the set sat idle of over 10 years so the contacts need a clean but overall the set is in perfect working condition."
    Anyone care to take a stab at that?

    "...it is rare to find this model in such fine looking condition."
    Is that with a front panel which looks like the rig was bounced around in some guy's van for the last 5 Hamvention trips?



    I've thrown better-looking '901 trim pieces out for the trash. :roll:
