That is super!!!! Great condition too! I guess the upgrade to two side turrets was for the addition of adding a microphone in the center and probably easier to breath.

It looks super in the pic but it does need some TLC to the turret section as it has come away from the main body , but some rubber cement should do the trick !

Those must be easier to come by.

A10r A10 and A14 relatively easy Dave .
Its the others that are the hens teeth ones !

That’s what I meant. Those A-10Rs are easier.
