It's an '87 620/12 in FG. Shipped all the way from Arizona to bonny Scotland.
Managed a strum today and was blown away by the sound - had to play the Hard Days Night chord of course, and some Smiths.
Have wanted one of these for probably 30 years. There is a mystique about Rics - don't know what it is.
Really pleased with it. Here is it is in the flesh.

Wow, NICE!
Welcome to the RRF and the world of Ricks!
The more you play 'em the more you'll find out about that mystique...

Welcome to the forum Peter. Congrats on your new 12 string. Now all you need is a Rickenbacker 6 string.

Or several!
John Hall in the new Bacon 12 string book says that most of us own 5 Rickenbackers...

An excellent choice.
That combo reminds me of this pic from the '60s Rickenbacker archives:
