But I don't need a hundred. You know where Mock's is, right? Seem to
remember you are local to me. There's no telling what you could get
them for if you bought all hundred. I just need to know that it's the
right value before I buy any of them, plus I need someone else to do
the work. I've got a spare temp gauge I don't mind sending off.

By the way, is the temp gauge the same for all years?
