Lest anyone have the wrong impression, I contacted Jim about the possibility 
of buying the 400 (if reasonably priced) as a fixer-upeer project (read, I 
say again, read the original posting again).  That was my only interest.  He 
was adamant about selling them as a package.  I offered to put some feelers 
out for him (i.e., letting people know of their availability).  I am not 
helping him sell these.  The information provided was what he gave me, 
despite being asked the standard questions (tapes, motor controller, etc., 
etc., etc.).  He doesn't have a computer, therefore no email access.  For 
those enquiring minds who want to know more, email me privately for his # and 
you can deal with him directly.  Is any of this unclear?

To me (and others), the price is unrealistic; however one man's poison is 
another man's medicine.  Perhaps someone feels it is reasonable.  Don't shoot 
me, I'm only the messenger.

Similarly, I recently went to Hollywood to check out the MkII that's shown up 
on eBay a few times.  The conclusion after inspection and consultation with 
Streetly: Too many problems (cycling, drag, etc., etc., etc.) and not worth 
anywhere near the $16K the guy wanted for it.  

I didn't fall off the turnip truck yesterday -- maybe the week before!
