Ahh ..the tragedy ..another story of a psyche taken to the brink by the neverending tick of the auction clock..
I would advise taking control of your destiny and saving your pennies for a custom job or at least a high quality vendor model.......

He sees one of my vintage ones just about every week, and can tell the difference, but as far as buying one, he's lost.
