For anyone interested, the vendor was St. Louis Plating, 314-652-0488.  Tail=
 lamp assemblies were $60 each, side lights, also in bad shape, were $50 eac=
h, front over riders $40 and rear $50 each.  These prices increased $10 from=
 a year ago.  I contacted 4 vendors last year.  St. Louis Plating's prices w=
ere as good or better on most items. =20
