Dean,
Fellow lister Roger Bolick (rgb@exact.com), has (or had) these units for
sale,and for quite a bit less than the big three. Mine has been on my '74
daily driver for almost 2 years. No problems. Maybe you just had a marginal
unit, although I remember other listers saying how delicate the magnetic
shutter assembly is.
