Got a pmail from Terry today regarding his valve. In his usual reasonable
and diplomatic way, he informs me I should have known that his valve is a
quality Parker synthetic valve with teflon seals and comes with full wrap
around stainless clamps. This, I reckon, was supposed to be obvious from an
unfocussed 320x240 picture showing the valve with two cheap cheese-grater
clamps. So, despite a complete lack of useful information indicating such on
his web page, it seems that his valve may indeed be entirely worth that $25
asking price.
