.....I'm glad we're ending this thread on a pleasant note. I learned a few "real world" things, and good luck to Don. Thanks, Craig.

Different versions of Vandersteen 2CE
Hi Issabre; There is a 2Ce signature that was introduced a year or so ago, but of course it has Richard Vandersteen's signature on the back panel. The 2Ci preceeded the 2Ce. I'm not familiar with any others. Good Hunting. Craig.
