Pro-2006 with Opto456 Interface sells on eBay

This link won't be active for long, but there was a Pro-2006 with Opto456 and Optotrakker interface that just sold on eBay for $316...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160568212295&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

The cost of this setup new was probably $800, but that's still a striking price for ~20 year old technology. A Pro-2006 and Optoscan 456 (but no Optotrakker) sold a few days earlier for $123.

Here's the text of the auction:


Realistic Pro-2006 Scanner w/ Optoscan456 & Optotrakker
Up for auction is my used Realistic Pro-2006 Scanner (Full 800MHz band restored) with Optoelectronics 
Optoscan456 (Full Version NOT "Lite") computer control board and Optoelectronics Optotrakker 
Decoder (Motorola and LTR Trunking, CTCSS, DCS, and DTMF decoding). This board was
 professionally installed and includes the Discriminator Audio modification and Reaction Tune
 modification for use with an  Optoelectonics Scout  frequency recorder. 

The Pro-2006 is excellent working and cosmetic condition, and the screen is in excellent condition. 
The backlighting works, however the LCD has a small dark spot in the liquid crystal layer on the far
 left edge of the display that does not block any of the display components (see photos, disregard the 
reflections).  Knobs and keypad are like new, no discoloration or wear. The Optotrakker is in excellent 
working and cosmetic condition, screen is in like new condition.
