The thread has finally looped back to the funny point I was making when I originally brought this up. :-) I wasn't complaining about the low resale value of my low s/n K3. I was answering a question about why I LIKED having a low s/n K3 and felt I needed some negatives to throw in there. So I made the same joke Thom just did; that my low s/n K3 will eventually have less resale value than a more recent K3, but it won't matter as I'll be dead -- implying, of course, that I don't intend to ever sell the radio, so even my contrived "negative" is not a negative at all. Ah, these things are always so much funnier after they've been taken off in another direction and you get a chance to explain the joke line by line. :-) A priest, a rabbi, and a K3 owner walk into a bar....
