Ken....I know that it actually dries once all of the solvents (or whatever) evaporate but it's a slow-ish process. The semi-constant buffing/wiping also helps to keep it looking uniform......otherwise if the oil dries on the surface it can look a little "splotchy".

The LK looks the same after applying a light coat of the tung oil but the Ci I have was apparently oil-neglected for some time so it really looks like new again now. I'll post some before/after pics later today.

Sean....I think I may have a battered copy of that on VHS somewhere. Unfortunately I don't even have a VHS player anymore (TiVo RULES!) Image.

Ken....I haven't seen you mention anything about the Mid-Atlantic Ricfest.....don't you live in Maryland and are you going ?

Do you only check the "Bass Forum" section?

Just take a look under the "Forum Comments" section and you'll see the "Mid-Atlantic Rickfest" thread......or maybe it is somehow blocked from your computer. In that case please ignore my above comments.....nothin' to see here, move along Image.

Look forward to meeting you and your rapidly growing collection.........

I think the tentative date is 11/5.

I received a few very specific pics I requested so I'm at least comfortable that the seller owns the LK and I have no reservations about buying.

Now I'll just wait and see.......

The high bidder has spent @ $400 on his recent transactions, including this

Hopefully he's not "spent"...

I think he bought that so he doesn't get screwed on future transactions.

It's at the border now of what I am willing to spend......I'll make up my mind little closer to the end Image.

If I didn't have one I'd be more enthused. Being outside of the US cuts in to my funds a little as well.

I think I'm out of the running.....unless I start doing shots and get some liquid courage going Image.

It's at $8100-ish with 2 hours to go. With import duties and shipping the price is a little bit much and I'm sure it will be more by the time it is done.

Brian, there are no duties when a USA made item comes back.
