Well I thought $25 ea. was pretty amazing too - the new owner is a very happy camper.
These had the meter I think - so they may have been a CR88 rather than
AR-88 - I didn't get on the floor to check. Dirty, no cabinets, but didn't look like anything major was mangled or missing. Certainly seems like the new owner can get one nice unit out of the two (and maybe 2 working units).
