There's a Model 710 Viva Tonal for sale in Portland (Oregon) craigslist for only $150. That must only be about 50 cents a pound! Jerry Blais

I went to look at the 710 and it was OK. Needs some TLC and some lube. The major flaw in it is that the door hinges are broken, as if someone opened the grille door, which folds down and then scoots under the horn, and sat on it. So the hinges as well as the wood that holds the hinges are busted. Still for the price, not bad.

Darn, I was going to try to look at it soon. Sounds like an anoying thing to have to fix.
