What a beauty. Pete

Indeed, US$22,000.00 worth of beauty at the end of the auction!

Yikes! That's 22,000 plus a 20% buyers premium plus sales tax of ~5% for a private buyer. The tab at the end was nearly $28,000 or about the price of my wife's first house. A set of original figures for one's organ front is becoming a major investment. Roger

Ouch! Robert :org:
