Only 11 posts, perhaps, but I've been a member since 2004. I spend much more efforts face to face with collectors and in the "circles" than here on the net. With RGVAC basically abandoned, this becomes the only option.
With that being said, I too was only joking, or poking fun, or fitting in. Whatever you want to call it, that's what it was. I even poked fun at myself a little, considering that "Champion Ship" was in the subject. Basically, it's a consequence of typing faster than my brain thinks.
As far as the part goes, Arcadejunkie, I'll try to call over to Mike Doyle's, where the machine is stored, and ask him to look for the bracket. I'd suspect that it is there, but I haven't confirmed. If I do have it, it'll be cheap. Fair enough?
