I wonder if they sold, Jeff? Last I knew as of a few months back,
there were still NIB/surplus ones for sale for $400. Picked up a
couple myself, have since let one go. Have seen the older ones from
Taffet and other manufacturers in similar condition to yours at fests
from $5 to $200 over the last few years. One of the list members here
bought the $5 one.

Saw your stuff, I was selling on the other side of the building from
you. Did you sell your SP-600?
