I paid $30 for my TC (battered but works well), from a knowledgeable
but honest vintage dealer in Iowa.  For $200, you could probably pick
up a used dbx compressor, Rane parametric, and a Hush pedal and stomp
all over the TC.  It's a terrific compressor but it ain't worth $200
except to collectors (who aren't gonna play it anyway).

By "beauty," I mean that which seems complete.
Obversely, that the incomplete, or the mutilated, is the ugly.
