If you can go a little higher than $500, there's a Klyne SK-5A for sale here at $695. It would keep you happy a long time. When your bank account is healthy again, a Klyne would be a good catch. With respect to Pmi_guy, even better than an Anthem, IMHO.
Stan Klyne still services the SK-5A, even though some parts are no longer available.
