I paid $40 for my Simpson model 372. It was made in 1963 and is a wreck. What a fun find though. I also bought a brand new model which is back-ordered but will find a place on my bench...because it's a Simpson! So, the discovery and restoration process is so fun! I found an amazing guy at Simpson who sent me the original schematics and has helped my greatly in figuring out the best ways to make this old but fine instrument whole again. Most everything, including the 30v batteries are easy to source. The #4-36 1.5 inch round head brass screws not so much. My new friend at Simpson said he'd check all the junk drawers in the shop and see if he can find some for me. Man I love this hobby. People are amazingly helpful.
