Hmmmmm  #2 .....

Black cabinet might be the same one Les mentioned going for $800 plus - 
which it did.  Black panel won was not powder coated, if that means 
anything.  Same seller won a Bristol wrench set -- the smoking gun?  You'd 
need 'em to take the knobs off and swap panels.  Also scarfed up some IERC 
tube shields, but somehow doubtful that they wound up in that black mariah.

Yup, he won a repro tag recently -- just check out the Q&A with Hank Arney. 
Highly interestin'.  Couple of mil manuals and a CV-591A/URR for $711.

Hmmmmm #3 ..... Were there any black CV-591A's?  I have this premonition 
that one will surface any day now.

Hmmmmm #4 ..... The trail is so evidence-rich that it seems a bit too 
obvious.   Secret bidder list?  Maybe the whole thing is a put-on -- a bogus 
auction designed to stir up the list. Roy says this seller is a doctor? 
Sure that isn't a doctorate in social or experimental psychology?   Might be 
preparing a new paper for the journals, like "Internet Reflector Behavior in 
Response to Extreme On-Line Auction Stimuli".

Letsee now, it says shake well until the steel balls rattle .... 
hmmmmmm..... steel balls?
