I did surrender to the call of the ..er.. astrocompass.
Of the three mentioned on eBay, I topped the bidding on the third
and highest priced one - at $67 plus S&H None with bases though.
One of them had a noticably wrinkled sight screen (ivory plastic sheet)
which I suppose was heat damage.

And I am glad: do you hear? Glad!
