[rescue] Long shot: looking to purchase a Tadpole Alphabook

[Ian Finder]

Thanks for the lead, Mr. Bill.

Last time I spoke to him he wanted about $20,000 for one which I think is
perhaps just a little excessive.

The last two that hit eBay a year or two ago went for about $1,500. I was
going to offer above this, but certainly not greater than an order of
magnitude.
