  Well, I still have my Paia gear simply because it defined a moment in my
life that I went from electronic tinkerer to eventually going to the
college of engineering.  The 4700/J I actually restored/improved a while
back, just to keep it operational in case those in my office complex
wanted to fiddle with it.  I do not think I would sell it simply because
it has a degree of sentimental value.

  However, that does NOT absolve these people on ebay from bidding a 2720
over $600! :)  I'm sorry, but the circuits in a 2720 just...lack.
