Said to be in working condition. Faceplate looks good, but the rest doesn't, don't know if anyone would be interested in this.

Looks like someone jumped right on it!

Geez, someone was desperate. Used "Buy it Now" and paid $1100 for it. Go figure.

I remember selling one of these second hand in the audio shop I worked in back early 90's. I think we got 400$ canadian for it.

Mint ones have gone for over $3k - someone actually got a deal with this one. What looks like rust is actually packing tape.

Yup, put a little elbow grease into cleaning it up, maybe a little paint here and there and a tune up with a good tech and you've got a hellva good power amp!

I can't believe they received that much money for a beat up BA-5000.

I hope it works out well as bad as it looks...
