good find. it looks used with the yellowing on the edges of the part label. i sent the seller a question asking if it is used. even if it was, it was in the box so it should be in good shape. if it is new, indeed, then i'll go nuts with the bidding. i need one more NIB M (1988 would have been nice but 1987 is OK too) that is pre '89 to finish my collection.
