Yep. I got it. I had to stay up until 2 AM, and I bid at the last few seconds. I bid rather more than the $67, I was pleasantly suprised that I was able to get it for that - I was really, really worried I was going to wind up paying more than I could really afford... After the last three or four roundies I've tried for on eBay always went for too much, I'm really excited to get this one!

Funny thing though, I was sitting there in front of the computer, and refreshing. It got down to like 40 seconds, so I hit "Bid" on the other window I had ready... and at just that instant, the internet connection hung! Thankfully, it sorted itself out in 20 seconds or so, but man, that was frustrating...

Going to be a road trip to go pick it up - it's a four hour drive. But hopefully it's nothing too serious to repair. I wonder what could fail and smoke to the left of the flyback cage?
