Hi
I know your looking for a BD-71switch board.
Probably not the right era for you.
But just in case I have a SB 86-p and a couple of SB-22A's .

I have a BD-71 bought in Ste. Marie DuMont in June, 1994. It was in very nice condition last time that I looked at it. However, that was probably when it had a plastic bag slipped over it and it was put on a shelf in my storage building circa January, 1995. Assuming that it still looks the same, price will be $250. Because of weight, it would be best if it could be picked up. But I realize that Bloomington is too far from Houston for a road trip. As I recall, it is too heavy for just cardboard so I would have to crate it. And that plus shipping will not be cheap.

I don't know about accessories. What specifically would you want?

Hi Robert,

I hope all is well. I found a BD71 for sale locally (well within driving distance anyway). The price was good, and with no shipping to contend with it was something I couldn't pass up.

I've been noting some really nice things coming up on everyones favorite auction site, by a seller going by ww-ii_collector. Does that happen to be you?

Well, like I said , hope all is well. Please let me know when you have a minute about the spray paint and also the jack seals.

Regards,
