Hi

The price was a bit above that, but still in the "good deal" range. I think
I'll be popping the case open this evening.

Considering the price (I assume about 100 USD or there abouts), taking 
some time to repair the front-controls seems like still a good deal.

Applying some love and tender can be rewarding and ehm... you become 
more intimate with the instrument.

Cheers,
