Well, yes and no. Though it worked pretty well and was in decent cosmetic
shape, it had not yet been gone through/re-capped, and was missing its
guesS-meter. A buddy who I attend the 'fest with offered me a very nice
example for a reasonable price ($250 I think) sans meter, so the night
before the 'fest a transfer was made. Had a similar price on mine at the
fest and the usual number of tire kickers, but as the day was winding down
it was still sitting on the table. One fellow had pestered me for it on and
off all day, offering way too low of a starting price. But he's a decent
fellow, and $186 is where we ended up. Or was it $189?

The SP-600 is a nice receiver. It's also anything but rare, and there were
several there that day. The higher priced units ($400+) went home with the
sellers, even one that was $700 or $800 and dropped to $500. I think an
average price for one in okay shape that hasn't been gone through is
probably in the $200-$300 range or less.

I just didn't want to take it home with me!!
