Title: 2nd-gen ('88) Model M 1391401 w/cable, $58 shipped

This won't last long... Nowadays they're going for at least as much before shipping, and often without a cable:

"Worked perfect when packed away many years ago..." (Don't you love reading that?)

One missing cap, but I'd ask the seller to check the box they had it in; it's probably there.

The rest will clean up nicely—and aside from a smudge on one foot, the back's almost creepily pristine.

Not as rare as a mandolin crystal (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=44844.0), but still!

Huh I never noticed the dots. This is definitely a nice one.
