Gene,

Unfortunately I had to pass on it. Despite the pictures the guy had sent me and the answers he gave me to my questions it was not in the shape I was expecting when I got there. The chasis was all in tact, but the cabinet was rougher than I was comfotable with given the price we had discussed. It had a couple of BAD gouges out of one side and the top was little rough as well, although it didn't worry me nearly as much as the side. I thought about taking it anyway but I've learned to trust the little voice inside that says "walk away". In fact I also remembered how you opened this thread: "Well I finally found one! Or I should say the one I want." That stuck with me as well, so I guess I owe you one!

I really want a 37-116 and someday the right one will come along. That day just wasn't Wednesday, Feb 20th, 2013 Icon_biggrin
