swanne, I was watching one on ebay that looked and sounded nice. But, alas, the auction was over before I got any comments to my post so I was hesitant to bid. It went for around $150 plus s/h but there was another like it that went for $400 plus with added s/h. Maybe it had some gold on it for that price??? Looked the same to me! Ebay is certainly a strange "animal", don't you think? Sounds like I should still lookout for one since it is a workhorse as you say. Thanks!
