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.
