I would think it's too high even with a new tube. Really nice ones
unmodified on 2, or 6-meters have been going for around $1400 (give or
take) Look carefully at the top. It is bent in and has a circular row
of what appear to be holes. I have one on 2 that is *almost* mint. It
looked crappy when I purchased it at a swap. I figured I could use it
for parts and hoped for a reasonably good tube. A little cleaner and it
looks almost new with a good tube.
