Jayce mentioned the RCA 140 so I thought it would be interesting to show some photos of mine. Jayce - it only cost $50 (and about $50 shipping) but you can see why Icon_smile

It had suffered the "someone carried it by the top edge" syndrome and the top broke away and the rest is history. I was able to secure the top with dowel rod. It was a $50 gamble that all the pieces were there!
