Warning: Red Buttons viewers passed of as NEW. ;-)

I recently got a Red Button Viewer from Elliott. Apart from also being
the fastest gun in the West he is a very good reconditioner. He had
for sale recently a modestly priced Red Button that he overhauled.
I didn't see how it looked before but from Elliott's comments it sounded
like a decrepit piece of junk that was ready for the graveyard before
he performed his Frankenstein surgery on it. He warned me before
hand that the sale was conditional on him being able to save or
reconstruct it. I wasn't to worried in that regard and took a chance.
If I didn't like it I could always return it. Anyways to make a long
story short I got it a couple of weeks later and when I got it was
surprised that it looked as good as it did. Heck I could pass it off
as practically new on S3D and make a tidy profit if I didn't have any
scruples. But Elliott warned me against doing that. I told him I would
make it a selling point if I did ever decide to sell it. ;-)
Optically it's great compared to $3, $33, etc. viewers as everyone very
well knows, but would still love to get a Themelized Red button one day!
But I better take it one step at a time lest I go to the poor house rather
than the 3D house.
Gabriel
