Thanks, K.

I'm in San Diego and have one that I think I'm not going to end up installing. It definitely needs a cleaning and probably a rebuild. What part of the USA are you in?

Hi Yeti, thanks for replying. I am in South Africa at present, but am coming out in July to collect a boat. I would need the Aries delivering to Afton Minnesota 55001. I would be most grateful if you would put a price on it, let me know what shipping would cost and if you could send me some pics of the windvane. My email address is,: littleretreat@telkomsa.net.
Many thanks, Kevin.

Ah, O.K. I found a USPS calculator that tells me a parcel 30" by 12" by12" and weighing 70# would cost $91 via ground mail and take 2 week. So if we're in that ballpark that's great. Kevin.

I'll try to get some pics to you later this weekend. I think the shipping is going to be at least $100 and probably closer to $200 based on my recent shipping experiences.

I picked up the Aries for $500 and I have no problem letting it go for that as well. It is a Standard #3 and it did not come with any type of clamps for the mounting tubes. The mounting tubes are shaped like the ones in the link below:

I also have a wheel adapter that was picked up separately. It came to me for around $250 (I think, I know I didn't pay the $400) and can go at that price as well. I actually got it from someone else from this forums and here is the ad with pictures of it.

So, I'm thinking $750 + shipping all together.

If that's no good for you feel free to let me know. The vane is sitting in the back of a vehicle and I will try to get some pictures of it emailed to you ASAP.

Great Yeti, Thanks. I won't need the drum, but am keen on the Aries. Please let me have some pics and we can see how to get the money to you. K.

Hi Yeti, Did you get a chance to send those pics yet? I have not received any yet. Kevin.
