I have a FT-736R similar to yours the only thing it doesn't have is
the CW filter.  I would rate the visual as 8/10 and operating 8/10. 
The only thing I know to be wrong is the internal PS is flakey and I'm
now running it on an external Astron SS30M until I decide whether or
not to fix the internal one.

I picked it up used ~ 4 years ago @ $650
Added the 50 MHz module @ ~ $275 3 years ago
Added the 220 MHz module @ ~ $300 2 years ago

As is, I wouldn't turn loose of it for less than $1000
