Neil, this was actually a LOW price. I have seen unbuilt Heathkit VTVM going
for as high as $350 on ebay! If a buyer REALLY wants something he will pay
ANYTHING, especially if it has taken years to find it. I have been there,
and know what it feels like. Sometimes you "just have to do it!" This is
what makes life FUN. Harvey.
