Hi Trevor!<br>
<br>
Thanks! I just got back in and see you have sent your CC #.<br>
We need your shipping address, a couple of phone numbers (home and work) plus your Social Security Number (your US Customs folks want that for some strange reason...)<br>

<dd>Hi Lee!<br>
<br>

<dd>Well, if you want to send a bank draft they are OK, as long as they are cashable outside of the USA. That's the 'International' bit, some money orders can't be. The Post Office for example has both domestic and International Money Orders and our banks here won't accept the domestic version.<br>
<br>

<dd>That's often why folks just use a credit card...did we ever work out the freight part of this transaction???<br>

<dd>U/R means UpRight. Sorry for being cryptic. Are you near San Francisco? Thanks for the file info, I'll check them all out. I've tried a couple but they don't find the temp.<br>
<br>

<dd>Shipping and customs looks like it is $200US, boxing up is $40US and the game is $1295US. Total $1535US. VISA, M/C, AMEX or International Money Order. Non-refundable deposit of $200US will hold it.<br>

<dd>Hi Trevor!<br>
<br>

<dd>We are located in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Where is 95630? CA? Boxing up is
<dd>$40US, shipping to CA usually adds $175 - $225US to the price (including
<dd>customs in most cases). Our phone numbers are in the bottom of this message.<br>
<br>

<dd>The Upright is nicely restored, but has the reproduction Tempest overlay
<dd>with the typo error &quot;Shootiing&quot; on the instructions for the Pulsars. Not
<dd>very noticeable...
<dd>$500US deposit would hold it to early Feb. We do take major credit cards<br>
<br>
