I got worried but she called the lady in back and when she hung up the phone , she said "I still think that is to much"!!!! Since then I have purchased about 25 of them, refurbished and resold. I have one that I repainted a metalic blue. It is beautiful. I also bought a 301a in a cabinet at another thrift store for $15.00.
