Strobels book is a great reference. The earlier versions are also good to have if you can find them. There are things in the earlier ones that are not in the current one.

Unertl small game just sold on ebay for 650 dollars, probably a good buy, from the photos it looked good.  Small games generaly sell for more than the more common modest power targets. I have bought Unertl's that were fine, another at a show I inspected carefully needed expensive repairs.

Makes a brand new MVA at 550 bucks look like a good deal.  Of course B5'a are not Small Games, the Unertl mounts are more sophisticated and probably better. Low Wall I am setting up the B5 is more "correct" for the period.

Pay your money take your choice

I have an original A5 on my Schoyen Ballard and had a good friend go through it to clean it internally. When they're clean and in new condition the optics are amazing! Hard to believe they could do such quality in the time period they were produced.
