I was visiting a customer and he just had to show me an identical

Notice its marked down from $68?..thats 300% markup even there

It was in 1999-2000 or a bit before.

First year Sears sold the mechanical digital mics as I recall, before
the electronic digitals hit the market and the prices came down.

Both were identical, both had the same wooden box, the exact same
documentaion. His had Craftsman on the finger guards. Period

Shrug..it became a pretty good joke between us before he retired. Ive
mentioned this before on this group. Check Google Groups for the
original thread.

I still use mine with great regularity when I dont want to take out the
Mity electronic digitals and get em nasty dirty.

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
