IMHO anyone who spends $2000 on an SB-220, even if it were retrieved from
the lost Atlantis expedition, is nuts. But, "collectors" prevail. I've
been reminded many times that the whole value of such an item is that it's
unbuilt, and building it would make it just another SB-220. Since that's
evidently the case, I have a box full of parts that I'll call an SB-220 kit
(who knows? the cartons are sealed) and will let it go for $1900.
