A wise move, Arne. The ONLY reason I have a Scotty is that I found one already restored - and paid the bucks for it.
Though in truth, I was considering building a replica of a '47 Aljoa and had what I believe was a very good estimate of what it would cost me. When I found the Scotty, I asked the seller what he wanted for it and he named the exact figure in my estimate!

So - got a TTT with virtually no effort. The interior needed a little paint touch-up and it needed curtains and new seat cushion covers, but that was it. The curtains I did myself, the seat cushions were done by a guy here in Front Royal who does good work very reasonably.
