I have an offer sitting there, but $600 plus another $500 for recoat (he tells me it needs doing) ,transport to get it or a 2 day drive, plus strip and paint all adds up and doesn't suit my budget

Id love to do it though. (I can have a brand new Bintel 12" landed on my door for less, just for comparison, and yes I know there is a very good chance the optics will be better)
