Doesn't look like it's in that bad of condition. Hopefully it is in working order. Good luck to anyone that bids on it.  :D

An early-1989 probably has the heavy plate and wire stabilizers.

Looks like a desirable item and I would guess that it should fetch $100 or more.

I don't think a grey oval label will have the wire stabilizers, but nevertheless, this is a good find.

I think the switch-over from wire stabilizers to plastic sleeves happened early-mid-1989.

I won the auction. It uses wire stabilizers.
