On Ebay @ http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=233557533 Starting at $125, no bids yet. I am in no way associated with the seller. BTW, my e-mail was down all weekend, so I missed the whole "Coleman Plat Cat" thread, but I'll take this opp. to get in my 2 cents... 1) I've been using my DuraCat/BlackCat since September and it STILL stinks - as in it produces this noxious sweet smell when running. Smelly, yes, but I can live with it. 2) Coleman catalytic heaters have been commonly available (based on my observations) since the 60's. it seems as if Coleman stopped producing them during the late 80's, and that the DuraCat/BlackCat is the first one they've sold for quite some time. 3) If you think the DuraCat/BlackCat smells bad, try using a Coleman Model 513 liquid fuel catalytic heater - it's like running your DuraCat/BlackCat while parked behind a city bus - blech. I ran one in my van this weekend during the day to have a place to duck into to warm up while working outside... Monday AM the van still smells like the 4th floor of the Port Authority Bus Terminal!
