Peter.. not only do I 'Own/Run a TR-751/851'.. I also 'Own the Group' !

If the Rig is in near NOS..(ie:original Box.Manual/mic/MB-10 (lil Y-Plug 
on the Rear) You could probably get $350 or so !  If it does have the 
Vol/Squ.. RIT/RF Pot problems that were associated with them.. that 
knocks $100 of easy !  There are Replacement pots yet available as 
well.  I have seen many 'Parts Rigs' even go for $150.. !  So far, I 
have been fortunate with mine, to not experience any problems, other 
than Freq. Drift.. but that is another board problem, that is still 
available 'New' for $12 or so !  73 and GL
