[Boatanchors] Galaxy V Mk 2 - All Opinions Welcome !!!

[Bill Pancake]

I'm on the verge of buying a Galaxy V Mk 2 boatanchor as a winter restoration project. Aside from looking at the manual on BAMA I know pretty much nothing about its history, reliability, inherent problems, etc. 

The owner says it's in pretty good cosmetic shape inside & out and was recently serviced/aligned. Claims it has good output and transmit audio too.

Before I make a potentially classic mistake, I'd appreciate opinions on whether this rig is viewed as "generally" a diamond-in-the-rough or a piece of expensive junk. Would also REALLY appreciate a rough estimate of what this rig is worth $$$. Tnx, Bill, wd0x
