Stock or well restored T/As are still bringing almost that much money though, right? You'd think people would throw in a few more bucks for one that actually performed but by now, we know the differences between us and restorers.

Have a line on enough stuff to bring it back to stock so you can actually sell it for good money and then be able to put it into something else?

Wait, here's another thought...sell it to this guy: https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=41427
