The best I can think of is an Embryon AND a Solar Fire (both out of the same collection) that I JUST missed due to bad timing. 

The solar fire must have hurt a bit though, can't be too many of them in the country.

Very true - But I always seem to land the rare machines. Just have to widen the net a bit and hope for some luck. I know of really nice example that was imported last year. Not sure who's home it went into.

Back in the early 80's, I did not have $1600 for a Fireball EM that was for sale
