But damn I wonder if it's just because they are rare. Worth taking a look at anyway.

I know I'd give 1,500~2,000 for one if it was nice. And that's used. Sell a new one for 1,500 and you'd have something.

Maybe Durrani can help, I hear he isn't too busy.

i would need a print, a scanned CAD or the unit to hold here for a week to start. the mag might be tough as it is a bit expensive and i am wondering a small compramise can be done in say all cast alum? the minimal weight gain would offset a huge price drop and better availability

i am eager to get some pics at least so my guy can look at it. i want to contribute some more as well as get some time working with foundry stuff as that really looks like a awesome hobby and his shop blew me away the stuff he had
