I would just lay an offer on the table and he can either take it or not, I don't know what he is asking but I wouldn't pay anymore them maybe $50-100 for it because of that water damage. To have a professional cabinet maker repair that you are looking at at least a $500 bill or more since it is fairly severe, even that record compartment drawer is falling apart. It may be a somewhat rare model but it's only because of the record player, they made 1500 of the 501 and 500X, but 23,475 of the 16X, I don't think that having a record player and a slightly larger cabinet shouldn't justify that much of a premium.
