that speaker is extremely  rare!


I think it is, too. Actually, I had the 6900 sans speaker and was looking  
for one for many years. At the BRATS hamfest in Howard County, Md, several 
years  ago, I was watching a fellow unload his car which was mostly junk. 
Suddenly, out  comes this mint 6901. I asked what he wanted for it, expecting 
the  price to be ridiculous. He said $40.00. I offered him $35.00 and put it 
in  my car. On the way to the car which was parked at the other end of the 
field, I  had 3 offers to buy it, the highest was $125.00.
 
The second one came attached to a really nice 6900 at the Manassas, VA  
hamfest that same Summer. The price for the pair was $300.00 and the seller  
wouldn't budge. I put them in my car also.
