Been playing at being a BBC radio DJ with this beauty.
Surprisingly in perfect working order too.

I've had 3 of them, the BBC one was the best. Still have one although it isn't a BBC version. But it will only play one album flawlessly, once it warms up it starts skipping.
I wonder if yours has had the buttons replaced as the BBC one had a sort of chrome finish on the play stop and pause buttons. It had actually been worn off on my one through the amount of use it had endured. But you can get all the replacement buttons. The one I have now has had them all replaced.
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > JM Labs Focal Electra 926.
I can see it is the broadcast one as it has the longer display, the standard ones have a shorter display, it doesn't go as far to the left, and instead the space is filled with a little circuit diagram showing how the Class AA thing works.
I loved my BBC one, it worked flawlessly for about 2 years after I got it. Superb sound, scary power and dynamics. Was well pissed off when it died.

This is the best sounding player that I’ve had ( and weighs a lot for a cd player) I didn’t have much hope of it working perfectly given all that I had read but seeing the other equipment gave me the confidence to buy it .
I will be flogging it but probably on the bay in order to squeeze what I can out of it .

Regarding your advert. To be fair, it's not really "incredibly rare". Although it all depends on how one regards the term "incredibly rare".
I'm afraid you're being rather optimistic with your asking price. The top model people go for is the SL-P990. And that goes for way below what you're hoping for. The Germans are keen on the 1200. But even they would be unwilling to fork out what you're asking. The last time I looked, I think £650 was the most a German seller was advertising one for. Don't know if it went for that.
Just be prepared to be disappointed if you're hoping to get anywhere near what you would like.
