hi Dick
good question
the only thing that would make sense is if this  is an Elite A/S Glasgow-5Mhz
which is the rarest of all Elite A/S'S and the most expensive

so he would be selling the Budapest(the least rare of the A/S'S) and using the
proceeds from that sale to defray some of the cost of this one

however i can imagine how he could determin if this were an Elite A/S
Glasgow-5Mhz unless he went threw some sort of detailed quiestion and answer
session with the seller
