It's an 828. I have been looking but have never found another like it.

What a gorgeous unit! Did you have to do any cabinet work on it, or is it the original finish? (Hard to tell from photo).

I stripped it completely and refinished it using stain and finished it with spray cans of gloss lacquer. It was in pretty good shape. Lucky for me, it was my first!
