Actually, that probably won't happen for at least 5 years - I seem to go in a 5
year cycle.  I am going on a 12 day vacation, starting next week, to Florida and
have been busy getting ready for it both at home and at work.

Thanks - I figured that they were probably rare, as I hadn't heard about them
before.

While I have your attention :-), can you give me a clue as to how much the first
Fidelity Avant Garde is worth?  This is model 6081, that was called the Elite
Avant Garde Mobile Master.  I would certainly rather have one of the ones from
the late 1980's, but I have an opportunity to buy one of these and don't know
what to offer.  It has the box, but not packing materials, and the pieces and
manual and works perfectly.

Thanks,

Dick Schneiders
