Not shill bid, looks like Vladi won. That's his hidden ebay id in the high bid spot:

http://www.ebay.com/usr/volodymyry123?_trksid=p2047675.l2559

Heh. Good sleuthing! It's funny how Ebay thinks they've masked the ID, even though they show the correct feedback score next to it.

Cosmetics are becoming more important than functionality and will be increasingly so in time as more and more of these vintage units fall into the abyss of old age.

This is a very good point!

I think it's an ok punt. Usually these are dinked up and pitted. This one is going to be nice and pretty easy to bring back to life.
If it survived this long in good condition then I don't anticipate the technical problems being very much.

Vladi will have it listed for $1k in a few weeks.

Hahaha probably. His boxes do always look really clean in pictures though.
