I subsequently got it from him as part of the scholarship.
This kit has actually served me well, has actually been around the globe and has actually been used a lots of records. Highlight is, the kit is still essentially in mint condition. I have to make room, so some fortunate person is going to get this rare gem of a set. This was among the very first few sets made in this particular color.
