Tom,
I understand where you're coming from. They seem to be scarce...in working order. I came close to buying one (a Wilson 3JR) for the same price from Jeff Beck of Tools4Cheap.net when Darren & I visited him. I thought the better of it because there were a LOT of missing parts and it wasn't in working order. This one was questionable too because we couldn't get it to work, but I rationalized that it looked a lot newer and I might be able to get a manual and make or buy parts for it...cheap.
Imagine my joy when I found out exactly why it wasn't working! I've attached the page from the manual I downloaded which shows just how much gagetry the maker added just to ship it. And it was ALL in there.
