It depends upon what level you wish to operate this hobby. Only you can 
determine that. For some, the challenge of getting a period piece of 
electronics is a thrill. Others may simply enjoy trying to work an 
obsolete technology.

instruction book for $60.00. I felt really bad letting it go. But there 
was no place to keep it.
