Hi Tom,
You haven't replied to my email to you about your SBC6120.
I would like to buy your Spare Times Gizmo kit and would be happy to pay a
reasonable price.
Would $800 be acceptable?
Thanks and best regards
Tom Hunter

$1000. I have seen other 8's go for more on Ebay but I don't recall which
model.
Go for a 8m or f same omnibus and easer to lift
