The Power Transformer looks like a replacement from 1977. Ironic that the seller posted a pic of the OT with codes, but not the PT.

And no gut shots, that most likely make it obvious that it has had major work done.

When I looked this morning, there were only external shots, not even one out of the case. Danger, Will Robinson!

Anything else a bidder should know about?
Other than originality sake, does the '77 PT make any difference?

it should be a fine player once it is recapped.
The Buy It Now price is almost double what it is worth.
