Oh, yeah–that’s why whether this thing goes on eBay is partially contigent on its power consumption. AND my wife saying, “Haven’t you sold that yet?” and just how much my little brother starts salivating when I tell him about it. “Sure, you can have it. Is $1500 too much?” That, of course, is after I drop “$120 to $180 plus parts” on the only guy in the US who repairs 'em.
