Please get some sleep Mike.

Had to go into the board preferences to set my time zone to Amerika/Kentucky/Louisville to get it to start displaying correctly. It was defaulting for an hour ahead of actual time.

With shipping 600 GBP = $787 USD

Heres another NOS set, already in the US for less ($699.95):

A BARGAIN FOR $12k
