I don't call in much to this website but just letting you know I've FINALLY scored a Pye RC-401A which I've been after for years! Scored off Ebay Australia (from within QLD). Now lets hope I get it OK from the seller etc....
He says tape doesn't work but the unit looks to be in pretty good condition (going by the photo).
That is awesome DXER!!!!! I was in the same boat as you last year and the waiting which took a month was horrible. Hope all arrives ok and you have many enjoyable years from that new/old box. Take care............
