I've had the lower 6500 for about a year now. It needs some work. Still puts out great sound. The top 6500 I just bought on eBay. I got it about 5 days ago and for what I paid for it, I got a screamin' deal. It needs a restoration but for being in all original condition, it looks and sounds great. What is even more awesome is the fact that it came with the original box, styrofoam clam-shell, owner's manual, laminated input/ output card and 4 channel start guide. Love my new baby!!
