    Is This Charatan Worth It?

    That's what I thought too.

    Is This Charatan Worth It?

    I think you're both right... I didn't even think about looking for the CP nomenclature, which appears to be missing. It looks like a Perfection Freehand though. Last I heard, @georged was not taking new repair jobs..?
