Quoted from BangBackula:I just don't see a way that Stern could make them affordable enough to compete with what is already out there. For under a thousand (and I've found them under 500) you can already get most classic Stern's in decent enough shape. Also, they made a TON of them.
They're apparently not particularly common on the West Coast, I rarely ever see classic Sterns, for sale or in collections. It's an era I'm actually pretty ignorant of as a result, I know Star Gazer and Nine Ball and Sea Witch, but that's kind of it.
