Too late - already gone from inventory.
Would have gone well with my 1820 and 1920!

Bought from Patrick Grubb in London. Had to fly there and pick it up.. Hopeless customs regulations for "dangerous lethal liquid" , read alcohol, in Norway. So handluggage ( miss that ), paid no customs/taxes since they were my allowance to bring in.

Bought one 1720 Pather for approx. $ 1.550 and one 1780 Boal Borges for approx. $ 1.250.

I considered this , in 2003 , for being too expensive, but also knew that prices will increase fast.. So I bit the bullett... [shok.gif]
