Looks new to me, especially with the blueprints underneath. And 30,000 yuan is $4,815 and change American. John

It's from the Yahoo Auctions section in Japan: http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w83786020 Just wondering if folks have seen this before? Is it new? A reproduction? Is it a kit? I don't speak Japanese so I have to rely on a google browser plug-in translation, which is probably terrible. It may be a little overkil, but I just like its presentation. I'm not at liberty to drop 30,000 yen though. Curioser and curioser, Arvin _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
