Um.. yes, it had crossed my mind - but I think I would need
to identify my own needs more clearly - and find a really
decent source who has such things cleverly available. I
tend to look hard for a long while, before coming to any
kind of conclusion..

...although, in my dreams, I can hear the rumblings of a
Harrison Ford 'Mosquito Coast' jungle coffee still ..with bits
of brass clad falling off, jiggling and hissing great gobs of
water vapour in every direction, shaking the house to it's
foundation until ..with a final triumphant gush and trembling
shake of the very ground ..a one ounce, perfectly formulated,
ultra-crema headed god-shot is issued..

...well ..I did say, "..in my dreams"!

...but thanks for your advice. I hadn't thought of it that
way. I'll have a look around and see if I can find an
establishment that's into refurbished commercials...

Thanks, Ken..
