Hi Listers,
Thanks for the responses. Here's what I've learned --- The
condition of
the package is more important than the contents!!! Honestly!! The electric
motor
puts it in the 'first edition' category with a potential value in the $100 or
more
range. However, the boxtop is in no way pristine, two corners are split. I
think
I'll see if I can find a kindred spirit of our lbc ilk whose heart is with
things
Lotus. Thanks again.
