Jayce, You should make an offer. I don't think you'd be disappointed. It's a fairly straight forward set, and doesn't seem to have too much of the crumbling wire syndrome. At least not in my set. I only had to replace one or two wires. Caps are relatively easy to replace, save for two .05's buried against the side of the chassis under a coil. You'll have to install new rubber bushings for the push button assembly, which will most likely be loose and flopping around. The off/on push-button can be a little wonky and either stick on or not stay on. Contact cleaner will dry it out so I had to follow up with a squirt of WD-40.

Paul, I have the original XXL's in mine. They tested good and perform as they should.
