Hi Andrew, Be sure and let him down lightly. I suppose 30G means 30K? Or am I wrong as usual, thinking in electronic terms. Anyway, if , and I doubt, it is worth 30K, or anywhere near. I must go and collect some, that people, can't even get tuned in this area. I used to do them, but my back can't take it any longer. Well it can, but I don't like the pain. It is almost unethical to do the work, without him knowing, the actual worth. Isn't it? Regards, John M.
