I would say mid 1960's model. I can't say he can't get $500.00 for it. But similar SUN equipment comes up all the time for sale in similar condition for much less. The key factor, if desired just for nostalgia furniture would be the ability to just come and pick it up. To put it on a palate and then a wood crate and ship cross-country would cost $700.00-1000.00. Customer pick-up changes the story. I had a chance to get a SUN 1020, which is a larger nicer unit for free. But I had to go get it in Nebraska. I think he just ended up throwing it away. It looked to be in similar condition including all the manuals. As nice as the unit looks, I bet all the paperwork is inside the cabinet. In the door, they had a pouch for all that stuff. Again, I love them. But difficult and expensive to transport which kills their value unless a local buyer. Good luck with it.
