With all due respect, your friend sounds like a moron. Or more specifically, I'm trying to figure out how he was smart enough to buy a real 904 at one time and then sell it because of potential repair bills? :confused:

Running or not, just park it somewhere safe, whatever the cost and insure it to the gills. Watch the millions accrue. A bit of good general advice from an old collector is to not sell things which you can never, ever buy again. :(
