<DIV>Hi Tony:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We have an original VR-1100 for demonstration purposes as well as
some of the Mk X ball bearing head assemblies for the machine.
All of the heads still have good bearings, and seem to have held up much better
than the bearings in the Mk XI heads for the VR-3000. This particular head
looks very used though, so I wouldn't bet on the condition of any parts of
it.</DIV>
