No, back in 2010 I restored the chassis for the guy who's been trying to sell the complete radio on eBay recently.

I have never owned a 680X, and it won't upset me if I don't ever get one. A person can only keep so many consoles. Don't get me wrong; the 680 is a mighty fine radio for certain, and one well worth acquiring if you ever get the chance.
