As usual, Paul your verbosity is right on target......and a very good read to boot! Most all of us agree, we ain't in it for the $$! Some of the early diehards, bailed-out for good/to better bucks, but no way near recovered their investment. Last year an M-601 went for an astronomical price of $55,000.00, I guessing the owner barely re-couped his inital investment... meaning he/they paid someone to do most, if not all of the work. I am not faulting the craftsmanship of guys like Charles Talbert, because they are needed/nessasary to the hobby, but they might be setting the pace..er price. I gotta lay off the joe, nice post Paul, Joe thanks for letting me take up the band-width also.
