well guys there's my four.i feel a bit fortunate thogh a bit of a heel.  i got them all used(i kinda feel bad and obligated to get a new one,i feel like i,m ripping off and taking advantage of the Wickersham's).though it is other's misfortunes that are my good luck.  i shouldnt say much though cause i just got the orion, and then the persuader of ebay and still have to pay them off.
  i really hope i can do it,selling an alembic is a bad sign and i hope i never have to(i can afford to miss a meal or three). i sacrificed a lot of gear and vacation pay just to get my 20th and it was one of the greatest decision of my life,so far.thats one that will never go regardless. i'll be got before my sweet baby!  a lifetime of thanks to the Wickersham family

Congratulations,what a beauty!!.Seeing the first pic gave me a strong sense of deja vu and then I remembered why.This from the 1989 Alembic catalog.Apologies for the clumsy picture cropping.
 
Best Wishes,
