... I got my first one for free and paid $175 for the second one. However, I haven't seen many for sale recently, and they sure weren't cheap when I have.
On a lighter note, I had some work done at a local shop awhile back, when I got home the wife asked how bad the bill was. I told her "well dear, there's two things in life that are cheap..... You, and me."..;)
 
Yeah that went a bit over the top - for 2600 one can contemplate spending few weeks and building one from scratch. Or just few days and making an adapter for one of your machines.
