I chime in:
       *Whoa_there_killer*...   You can get *new* ones from jc whipme for
around that price-I looked 'em up before I went the j-tube route (it's
always hot in Texas-well, ok, it's cold for maybe 3 days). They were $69
ea. as I recall.. Might be a bit more now that they're in season, but if
you're payin' $70, make sure they're shiny & new.   I intend to replace
mine, but it'll be when it isn't a choice between heat and food.

Peace,
