David:
For your "Vintage" purchase, recommend an early 1980FC31 without
levelers and bags. I loved the one I had and would have kept it but
I loved the 90SP36 which no one wanted to pay for so I sold the
80FC31. Wish I had em both. LOL Also, I made it to the second day
of the $230 entry Melbourne Championship Tourney which restarts on
Sunday at 1230 here. First place pays about $60,000. You can follow
it at crownpoker.com.au and then hit pokernews for the
championship updates etc. LOL
