Hey Pat, you went from zero to hero like a Cobra can to 100!
I checked your post a day too late and was grief stricken to have missed out. Then I used ebay to contact the buyer and the seller with carefully worded questions about it. Guess what, there was another one which is currently on its way to me. Should appropriately arrive Dec 23rd. My message is use ebay as the fantastic networking tool that it is (not just sales) and be polite and business like about your communication. Meanwhile I think I'm gonna buy a lottery ticket
BTW that was the last one available on this deal. Keep looking lads you'll get what you need. Now for the hunt on side plates for it, any info??
