Josh Dersch can have one for his home and for work.
BTW, about the other nice system noted here, I was hoping the 11/20
would stay off the radar and not go for a zillion bucks, so much for
that idea. At least I have the means to go to Tucson and get it if I'm
nuts and go for it.
Thanks

dirty marginal switch contacts or PSU issues, etc, vs damaged core.

Is that a dream price for such a system or realistic? I notice the corrosion on the front key.
I'll happily sell him a clean key for a mere 1%...

Absent physical trauma, core seems pretty durable. The electronics around
it may fail but the core planes themselves seem robust. At least that's
been my experience. -- Ian

Yeah, that's a pleasant dream :). I'd have to sell my car and a couple of
vital organs first...

It was on the radar before it was posted here; it had 11 bids when I got up
this morning and it had barely been listed for 12 hours. If it doesn't
break $10K I'll be surprised.
