These days and times, yes... back when I bought the first one it was $300 from Fair Radio. I paid more for the CY-979A cabinets, the CV-591A SSB converter and the accompanying LS-206U. That said, it took a fair chunk o'change to get the radio back into shape. Spare modules in good working condition are not cheap and not getting any cheaper the longer one waits. Anyway, the point was when I started down that path I was in the process of building my K2/10.. I wouldn't get rid of either to fund the purchase of the other, at least, not at this point.
