Ken,

dunno if these are just a heads up for others or potential project guits for yourself.

here in the colonies where they were born reverb dot com lists:

reverb.com/marketplace?query=1940%27s%20rickenbacker%20lap%20steel

and has nothing at all listed for a 1960's national lap steel.

point is--if you can go test those UK offerings face2face and amplified, and they put a big dumb smile on your face, i would go for it.

<$0.02,

Just a heads up for the forum, if I were interested I'd keep quiet :-)

These two were your side of the pond, US and Canada, which with import duties and sales tax would make me even less interested.

Ken,

my bad, assumed the ebay dot co dot UK in web address meant they had already arrived there. can see your point after checking again.

still, after being vatted @ +$110 and +$120 good pricing for scarce functioning players?

tried playing lap steels before myself, have you ever watched a gorilla trying to pick up a pea from his dinner plate?

[not of much personal use value for me.]
