Well Jim.......You'd alredy made the purchase when the thread started, but the general opinion here has been, as it has in other threads, don't buy it til you play it unless you can ABSOLUTELY trust the seller and they're are but a few that would meet that kind of sight unseen criteria. Your L&H is worth fixing and parts are available. Stewart-MacDonald in Athens Ohio has an excellent stock and they're very fine folks, I assure you.

So are you bidding on anything else?
