C'mon now, you mean to say that if you were on TV to plug your music you wouldn't use one if you could.

Cass, looks like everthing I say is being dissected these days, but I think you may have misunderstood what I was trying to say. I meant that I was supprised at how many of these wonderful instruments have been kept alive and in 'stage' condition by so many musicians, acts, bands, and venues. This says a lot about an electro-mechanical instrument that some might consider a dinosaur in this day and age. Just proves that great instruments are timeless and will always be highly prized. THAT'S ALL I MEANT.

Oh, sorry for the misunderstanding Chas. I agree that these babies have maintained and obviously increased their worth over the years. Even thru the thin times, the B and C have kept their values.
