Kevin,
I'm looking in the July '98 edition of the TSSC Courier, and the =
Prestige ad states the current price for the MK 1-3 as 219.95 pounds =
sterling. For the MK 4-1500 the price is 229.95 pounds sterling. These =
are the Mohair prices. They also have another canvas type called Duck. =
Prices for these are 80 pounds sterling less per model.
Pounds sterling "roughly" exchange at $1.50, so figure @ $345 for the Mk =
4-1500 Mohair, plus shipping. Their number , from the states, is =
011-44-151-608-8683. Call early in the morning as they are 8 hours =
ahead of us on the west coast.

the idea of all the hardware already being in place.
Thanks for any info!
