As for the rest of the story: Like I said, I had been looking for a used Gocco for some time, as new ones were no longer available, but most were way overpriced and just plain unavailable once I found them. I finally got lucky and found this one while it was still available, but the catch is that it was in San Francisco and I am in San Diego. Well, I work with this guy, Matt, who has some peeps in SF and he got someone to drive all sorts of miles to pick this thing up, pay for it, and ship it down here, no questions asked. It finally arrived last Friday, Matt brought it into work on Monday, and I brought it home Monday night. Now I need to acquire screens, bulbs, ink, and skills so’s I can go about using it. I’ll keep everyone updated.
