A 6229 1/2 recently sold on eBay for less than $50. For some silly reason, I can't access sold listing on the phone, so I'll have to post it later. If I see one, and have the funds available, I'll grab it for you.

Dan's plan is kindda what I had in mind Tom, so don't be concerned I'll buy a $200. copy.
Now that I know what they look like I'll still keep an eye out for maybe a gently used copy. 8)

Wow! ::woot:: $50 was a good deal if it was in pretty good condition! ::nod::

Sounds great guys! ::nod:: ::handshake:: I could do up to $50 -- maximal $75 for a nice used one but $75 is about all I can do & still live to talk about it. ::paranoid:: Of course I'd pay for it if one of you run across one. ::tu:: No hurry though. It's on my bucket list but I'm hoping to stick around here for at least a few more years. :lol: I don't know why, but I am obsessed to have this pattern some day. ::shrug:: ::dang:: And if it is used, I could even EDC it. ::super_happy::

Time for work. ::facepalm::

$50 would have been a good price IMO. ::nod:: Appreciate your looking! ::tu:: ::handshake::
