I'm with Everett!! I would not pay top dollar for something that is still 
regularly seen at swap meets. I just received a response from a chap that
was selling a T3 oil bath setup on ebay at:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=592843989&r=0&t=0&showTutorial=0&ed=994491157&indexURL=0&rd=1

I offered to give him his first asking price of $39.95 but he turned it
down 8-( I would probably only give about $10-$20 at a swap. He
said that he would like to get "$100 for it at best, $75 at least!" This
I find is a little much for the setup!! 

Although all I am in need of is the boot and filter-to-body joining tin.
Anyone have these pieces up for grabs? Thanks....Later.....
