Jim, have you noticed the Seller of this equipment has absolutely zero 
feedback and is trying to sell fairly expensive items on the basis of 
good faith, a wing, and a prayer? Most people at the 'Bay buy a few 
items or start off selling inexpensive trinkets to establish a viable 
history of good feedback.

Do you a second and third example preferably without Leicavit?

Regards,

Greg
