There is currently a new one on eBay right now for $200. That is much overpriced compared to what they used to go new for. But I've seen used ones go for more than that recently, and they are getting to be really hard to find.

Sorry to hear Father Time is nipping at your heels too Dave. I'm just 60, but I can't remember anyone this broken down at 60.

Take Care Dave, and cheer up :eusa-dance: BUD!
