Very true, Ron. I sent a media DVD...in a paper sleeve and bubble wrap envelope...to a friend in the UK a few weeks ago. It weighed practically nothing, and I used to be able to send these to him for only a few dollars using small packet rate. The cheapest rate now was $13!!
Getting back to the 1201's, I once found one in pretty rough shape on eBay for $10 or best offer. Shipping was $20 (at the time). I offered the seller $1.00 for the set and they accepted. It was the "somewhat" harder to find 48-1201 (9 times out of 10 you're going to find a 46-1201 because there were SO many more produced under that model number during 1946-47).
