No, it's not me, although it is the one that inspired my question about 
values.    That is #1288, and I was offered it for $3500 which I thought was 
awfully steep considering it would need another $1000-$1500 to get it up to 
snuff, not counting shipping.  It is in generally good cosmetic condition, 
but it has an unusual mod.  There is a circuit board mounted on the keyboard 
assembly of which I have no idea about function.  It will be interesting to 
see where the bidding goes on it.
