Another one of these missing the black badge, but as others have done, putting a Silver badge in it looks very nice.

Edit:  The seller also has a Model F AT listed with the same starting bid.

For parts or repair?  Hmmm...why would the seller not test this so it will fetch $500+?

They are a recycler.  I've bought from them before and never had a problem.

Anyone willing to shell out top dollar for these is ready to do it for an untested board as well.     No point in wasting time testing, there's only downside if you find something wrong.
