<<<Volume Dealer Price???? No - I bought my first R-13 Buffet in 1977 and
the cost was $575 I paid at Chuck Levins Washington Music Store. The price
of $500 in 1965 can't possibly be right. Should be more like $375-400 tops
and that's what I paid so maybe even less ($350). I remember the price of
mine back then as I paid for it cutting lawns as an 8th grader.>>>

David - you didn't get a deal. My 1st R-13 was purchased in 1977 as well,
for $325 from Sam Ash (back when they sold such things). Friends were
buying S-1s on special from Zeps for $280, which is likely the discount
price at the time. I held out for the R-13 and paid more for it.
