I picked this up in November and it still needs servicing. It doesn't run but looks to have had very little use based upon the condition of the case. (Yes, it's very dirty). I think the Solid Gold Assymetrical case is fairly rare, or hard to find, and that makes me believe that it is worth repairing and restoration. Comments are Very Welcome as to this. I paid North of $500 so use that if it helps.

I got it back from the repair guy and it runs and looks good. I did not have him buff the case, only clean it, so the back scratches are still visible.
