Try mgguys.com I think they are in Maine. They were
at Carlisle last weekend and said they had several.
Might be over 100.00 but I really like the look.
Don't think it has the wood grain surrounding the
clock though. The clock is also extra. It's a Kinzle
from Germany. I've heard some guys sub a late clock
in and it works fine TEHO.
