    Alex,

    Wish I had known you when I bought mine :-)

    Anyway, I'm glad to hear there are reputable dealers for these
    instruments. Thank you for offering to provide the names of said
    dealers, which I too would like to have. In fact I have a need for a
    part for one of mine now.

    Cordially,
    Courtney
