Probably one of the "original" 50's Astatics.  I forget which models they
had - probably either a JT22 or a JT30.

You can buy a new Green bullet for around $90, so $75 is not that good a
deal.  The last 'brown bullet' I bought about six months ago cost me $45.
See if you can get him to knock a few bucks off it ...
