Economic conditions are forcing me to consider a sale, unfortunately.  What have nice original 400s been going for lately?  By original I mean it hasn't gone through a full professional restoration.  By nice I mean very clean physically inside & out - never been thrown on a truck or lived in a garage.  Also has SMS-2 and recent headblock alignment at Streetly. Really needs nothing to enjoy; pinch rollers could spin a little more freely which would help the action but that's fairly typical on "original" Trons.  Two tape frames, albeit with two redundant sounds between them.  Located in midwestern USA.

Thanks & best to all...

Possibly $4000-5000 US

Thanks to all those who responded.  Good news for me, I've made some big $$$ parting with some other equipment, and will not be forced to sell in the immediate term.  $12,500 for my Yamaha CS-80!
