   I know what you're saying and I agree that maybe it would have been a good   
   choice, but I haven't seen a schematic or parts list for a Rock-ola 2000X on   
   eBay before, and haven't found any online vendors who offer it.  For some   
   reason, it's not easy information to come by.   
      
   But, on another thought, if the guy was dishonest about the item and gave me   
   such a hard time about it, how can I trust him to offer a proper refund?
