No, I don't feel lucky Deve-- especially since the head I did have "looked" flawless to me & your 50% success prediction. That is exactly what I was afraid of going it alone. I definitely don't need another busted one.
I'll see what the shop can find or if they are willing to look anymore. I remembered seeing an 848 head by JimBow(?) or someone else with 20K posts not too long ago in the swap, so maybe I'll get lucky.
Thanks
Brad
