Hang on for another 20 years and things may change. Or not.

As a carer of 5 grams I have to agree with Jeffrey. The post war Telefunken I love (and my better half hates) is described in brochure as "the crowning jewel" in the range.. and I was given it when a sale never happened.
(That said, it is good to see someone holding to a different view of the value. And, if the general appreciation does rise, it will have to start with a few people expecting a bit more from the punters.)
