[Rhodes22-list] Proof of authenticity (STAN SPITZER I DONOT OWN A "RIG" RATHER A 71 RHODES CONTINENTAL)

Tue Sep 1 15:03:23 EDT 2009

Bob,

I think I can expand on the idea a bit:

    A new Rhodes 22, $50K
    A recycled Rhodes 22, 20K
    A used Rhodes 22 for $5K plus 5% for documentation, PRICELESS
