Gentlemen, Yes, there are still bargins in lap steels out there! I just purchased a 6 string Electromuse with its original electronics (eyebeam pickup) intact for a whopping $25.00. Shades of the pawnshop buys from 30 years ago. All the buttons came off the tuners when I tried to turn them; other than that, sounds good! Let's keep looking!Robert Lackey

There's a store here in Santa Rosa called "Music Biz" that has a lot of old lap steels. Most are really delapidated (no pun intended) - tuning keys are broken, water damage, etc. The owner always says "make me an offer if you're interested", but I haven't seen much there that I would want to try to restore.------------------
