pretty decent looking, but in bit of rough shape based on their desciption.
But pretty cheap (approx 2700 usd) compared to those sellers who lives on the face of moon asking 10k for Spoilers.....

Ishibashi is the chain shop I regular at.  I may go see this one.

It was a great deal, Takeo.  It actually came in a few hundred USD less a couple weeks ago through their website.  Much cheaper than going through Reverb but well, you have to pay in yen  You're right, it was a total mess. The corroded brass bits were a pain to clean.  And I have no idea what kind of gunk got crammed onto the neck dots to completely obscure them.  Really, I probably don't want to know what that was.
