What are your opinions on a Model 650 Console
#1

I have spotted a 650 console in pretty decent shape. The only reason it's not mine already is that is it 250 miles away from me. Meaning it would be a 500 mile round trip, and take an all day drive, and traveling over a mountain pass. The guy is holding it for a day or two, so I can make up my mind. I can get it for $70, plus the gas it will take to make the trip.

I like the looks of the cabinet, and according to the seller, it works just fine. (you know how that can go).

What are your opinions of the model?

Desirable?

Too common?

Not common?

Do they sound good?

Thanks for any advice you can give me.

It looks like this one.  Not this exact one, but this model.
