Longtrman,
Smart points you bring up.
Far as parts, anyone talk to Sushil Kaul?
I did in mid-June and he's trying to be the middleman to broker a parts deal. IMHO, working with Kaul seems equivalent to a backalley transaction with a guy wearing a long trenchcoat.
Then again... desperate measures for desperate times?

Yes, dealers have tremendous "cred": they hold customers in high esteem and will do *tons* to gain/retain their favor.
100 percent understandable.

Like I've said numerous times... I hope people prove my cynical nature to be wrong (about how this it to end).
