They do indeed. Im not sure about the prices though. They seem a little over the top to me, but then Im not really up on current prices in the USA.

Yes I'd agree they are a bit high but I guess If I had some of that stuff I'd be asking close to the same in many cases. :monkey: Of course it's always hard to tell about condition. To really assess the prices you'd need more information.

When I hear someone describe a machine as "minty", I interpret that as a machine that approaches one that's in "mint" or in perfect original condition as it left the factory. I like the word. Better yet, I like to buy minty machines. Jerry

Minty, well frankly I don't know how I came up with that word. :lol: Must have
heard it somewhere before and it stuck in my vocabulary.
What I meant is it appears to be in very good condition, although not perfect.
But I agree, it may have been refinished and that can best be confirmed by
seeing the machine in person.
