thanks, michael.  i guess i am going to have to find new ways of 
justification...i play (in a very amateur fashion) saxophone, and have 
always justified the continual pursuit and capture of vintage 
saxophones in the wild (along with their spoor, mouthpieces and 
ephemera) with "well, i need one for practicing at home and one for 
practicing at work".

i don't think that'll work for old tools.
