Eugene, I hope the unit turns out good.  If the seller was Jose Say, beware.  I purchased a VITEK surplus ST-8000 from Australia last summer.  The unit was listed as working but unchecked and it arrived inoperable with a broken master function switch, missing knobs, controls flopping around without nuts, etc.  I sent it in to HAL at the good grace of Bill Henry and had it repaired and checked.  Needless to say total cost was in the range which I did not anticipate.  If the unit arrives and you discover any problem whatsoever, open a PAYPAL issue and force the seller to walk through your problem.  I did that, made the seller wait and fortunately HAL sent me an estimate via email so I knew what to appeal PAYPAL for.  The seller covered the parts and some of the repair time but I would not put myself through this again for any reason.  Also, leave negative feedback before the 30 day post auction period expires.  I think you can change it if the seller makes good.

I hope it is in good shape when it arrives. >  > This will look nice with my harris set up, the RF-590H and RF-1310>  > Wish me luck!> PS.
