I picked these up locally for $155 (total), the chairside is in very good condition with a good finish but the 640 tombstone needs restoration of the cabinet and chassis (needs corrosion removed) but the chassis on the chairside is near spotless, this is my one and only chairside and only shouldered tombstone that I have.
