     I bought one recently from someone on this list (I 
think) for $200 US plus shipping. I also had an offer of the 
older type 916A bridge for the same price. It was supposed 
to be in good condition but had hidden damage probably due 
to having been dropped hard. I don't think the seller was 
aware of the problem. I was able to fix this and it appears 
to operate correctly. I don't have the optional case, which 
would be worth having. I got it mostly for ham antennas but 
its useful for many other things. You need to be careful 
with shielding, if possible use the General Radio made 
cables with locking connectors.
