simply amazing. ... and at this rate this radio will sell for over 500.00.  pretty amazing considering the hardest parts (CC1 and MPA2 amp) are not included..... |
Personally, I try to wait until the end of the auction before bidding, but it's certainly easy to get caught up, for whatever reason, and end up paying way too much for something you really want/need.
I didn't pay anywhere near that much for my Micor setup, which is the one pictured in the CHP resto doc, with all of the CHP tags still attached. I have a few more setups on the way (eventually) which will be offered to the members here at REASONABLE prices for everything (including the CC1, amps, and all-important cables). The only thing I won't have with these radios is the correct microphones. IMHO, It shouldn't cost $1000 to put the proper equipment back into one of these cars.
