Think that's a bit much. Not a bad rig, I'd pay 600 at most.

Is that the end of the story or are you saying "hey, I just scored a Baja for $600 from a local guy?"

They have engravings on the top of the cyl and the bottom of the case. Or if you really wanna be sure, you can have it sent to obr and they will take the head off and verify that it is their work for a few bucks.

Yeah but looking at pics the seller has plenty of 1/5 in background...why would one put money into a 2 bolt top end? Everyone knows they typically don't hold together

good point , I think those are his brothers , can a 2 bolt be converted to a 4 bolt ??

Beat the snot out of the 2 bolt to give you a reason to get a 4 bolt

Depends who's building it. They can be just as reliable but need extra work when assembling them.

He agreed to $600 for the baja and $75 for a Futaba radio
