This one isn’t a steal. Unless, that is, you value your time doing restorations at more than maybe $5 per hour. But it is mighty purty — think restorations by Skip Campbell or maybe J.S. Burger.

And don’t forget to check out the included accessories.
When’s the last time you saw a 10ER listed by a friggin’ pawn shop? No relationship to the seller, although I’m tempted myself. It’s only an hour away from me.
Any opinions as to whether this is a restoration or a mint-condition original? I’m leaning toward the latter, based on the condition of the literature and the accessory packaging, plus the minor paint scratches on the jigsaw.
