Good old USPS eh? It took them nearly 4 weeks to ship my 720 about 1250 miles.
Anyway, hats off to H2oGuru for all his help. He bought one from ebay on my behalf, it was crap so se he sent it back. The vendor hand picked a cherry as a replacement. Gary checked it out for me and had some fun with it.
It was well wrapped and arrived today in great shape. It's cleaner and better (tighter hinge and whatnot) than my first 720.
Gary, thank you. It never could have happened without your help.
The thread was the big long messy one about the $135 720's on ebay. That thread got bent out of shape early on, and as I didn't really buy from ebay I thought credit was due to the member that helped me so much.
