Hi again Harry:
I got mine in June of '02 from: Alamia, Inc of Denver (
http://www.alamia.com ) They sell power equipment of various types. At the
time they offered free shipping on this model. I just now looked at the
site and they are a little more guarded than they used to be. I couldn't
see that they offered free shipping on this model at this time. They do
offer it on some other models, I noticed. Unless you are from CO there is
not sales tax (no small amount of $$) At the time, the price of my unit was
$845.00. That was the also the delivered price. I didn't see the price at
the site. Don't know why. They do provide e-mail quotes. Maybe that's how
they do business these days. Give them a shot and see what they want for it
now. Probably is still the best deal around.
I got the 12V charging cord locally for about $15, as I recall. Haven't had
a chance to use it (knock-knock).
