I've a number of Portabrace items, would have more if I could afford
them. I bought the case for the Portadisc and the case for the MP2 new
from Portabrace direct, but other than that just depend on finding good
prices on ebay. Most Portabrace stuff gets hard fought over by folks who
don't seem to know prices very well, so it's the rare auction I bid on.
I've got several things that way that see a lot of use. They build
things like I would, or at least close.

So far the vest has not turned up on ebay in my size. They are scarce
there, and tend to be in the small sizes.

Given your special talent recently revealed, how would you know it was me?

Walt
