Actually, I had that wrong. Amazon is about $US770, the factory is about $US980 another US distributor is $US1150 and the local is $AUD1670. The US prices need postage added but it is only 4kg. It isn't electrical - purely mechanical (even has the Aust std connection). My guess is that the price is just because of local 'exclusive supplier' agreements and gouging. That is your tax payer dollars going to a 'good cause' folks.
