Mike,
October 10th is almost two weeks away. I'm sure if you called Kirk at Vintage, or John at JPS you could have one by the end of next week. I'm in a "right now" kind of business, and one thing I've learned is that waiting a couple of days for a sure thing beats hoping you'll come up with one faster...and then waiting a couple of days after you looked around and couldn't find what you were hoping for. You may find one on the east coast by some fluke, but what if you can't. If you wait around for a close one, you probably won't be able to get one from CA in time.
