You don't see too many Pioneer CK units on eBay, so when this CK-11II popped up, I almost crapped my pants. It initially had a $220 BIN, and I would have hit it then, but I didn't have enough "play" money at the time. I went ahead and put the $70 minimum bid and decided to take a chance. I thought I had it in the bag for a while until some other guy came along and started bidding against me. Well, a bidding battle eventually took the price higher than the initial $220! I thought, "What the heck am I doing?!" I pulled out the white flag and surrendered to the other bidder. Damn. 
About a day later, the seller sends me a second chance offer.
But... it was still way higher than the original BIN. I contacted him and we worked out a deal for the CK-11. Let's just say I paid a good bit less than $220. 
It's going to need some love to get it back in shape, but I'm super excited about this project! After hearing Prime's CK collection at the Sunshine Mix a few years ago, I knew I had to have one. I found an old post by Prime over at S2G that had retail prices for all the components. This CK-11II cost approximately $895 in 1984!! 
Enough of the gab... Here are some pictures.
Yeah. Crumpled magazine pages is NOT what you want to see when you first open a package.
That's more like it.
