The thing is I found one on craigslist going for really cheap xl w/ the 8 outs and zip and the only thing that doesnt work is the slider. I just bought an asr 10 (3 bills) off craigslist and am enjoying it but wouldnt mind having one of these puppies back in my hand for cheap.

Then I will be really in business. Oh the gear lust strikes again.
EDIT: By the way, thanks for the answer. I have no problem opening it and cleaning it and checking the connections, so its all good I guess. Now I just need to decide how I will fund this.
