Thanks Badassie,

I did hear from someone who said Crosby was buying direct, but didn't
know how many were produced -- which is at the core my question.

I heard a lot about these during that period and wonderred just how
many 'stads' were produced. I suppose the bigger question does anyone
know how many TC-50's were produced?

I suppose we can assume it was more than 7500, but did it it reach 10
or 20,000?
