I'm making arrangements to drive over and look at it anyway. Nothing beats putting your fingerprints in the dust. Its about 375 miles one way. If I like, pay the freight up front out of pocket and come home to make the purchase thru ebay from this machine and browser since ebay accepts business from it, but will not on his machine from there m/o a multiday hassle. Budget is not that big a problem since the insurance partially paid off. Dee was a sucker for insurance peddlars. Space for it means pulling the crooked g0704 out before bringing it in. And more than likely hurting myself getting it backed into the space. But I think I'm a little smarter about such than I was 5 or 6 years ago putting the go704 where it is.
