So, a little update on this. I did find one that popped up on eBay overnight, shipped from Canada. This is the one in the configuration I wanted but interestingly there is no inlay that says "Pat...
I may be interested in that, we will see. It's definitely exciting. Would need to get my hands on one when they are out
Thanks. I've no intention to sell it. I should play it more!!
