So,
Long story short, I threw a “pre-bid” on a 1040 over on that site where you do that sort of thing. Only issues with it was someone was nice enough to put a forklift through one mesh area and it banged around and concaved the display panel cover.
They’ve been going for numbers high as a “giraffe unmentionable’s location” lately so I didn’t think I had a prayer of winning. Well, I did. So what have I done?!
I just picked it up this morning and she seems to be completely unused aside from the cosmetic damage. All the paperwork is still wrapped in plastic and even the Cummins diagnostic CD is in its case. Of course the batteries are dead, but that’s standard.
I know there’s certain things to look out for on the older 803’s but has anyone found any specific issues with these sets? I see the replacement screen units are starting to trickle out on the ole auction site, you reckon it would be wise to pick up a spare? I’m new at this...
Anyways, I’d love to hear some opinions. Don’t hold back, feel free to pat me on the back or even tell me I’ve made a grave mistake! I can handle it.
I’m off to search the site for any other threads or clues on this set.
Thanks!!
