Well worth the drive Nick.  A lovely example of a #95 G.

For some reason I always thought you already had this model.

I have wanted one for YEARS, and was always going to buy one new, but ebay continuously cancelled those plans... and currently they are unavailable.

This one came up at $500 last Wednesday, then on Thursday I could no longer find the ad so I figured it had sold. Friday it was there again, now reduced to $400. The best part was it was located in McHenry, the same town that my grandpa's sister lives in (just a little ways outside of Chicago), so we had a place to spend the night.

While talking to the guy at Walmart, he told me he knew exactly where I was from. Turns out he is a truck driver and has delivered to our local "Dollar General" a few times in the past and has driven right past my house. And a few weeks ago when we were stranded for two days in a hotel during a snowstorm, he was also stranded just 15 miles away. Was a very nice guy, who mainly flies large model airplanes. He bought the 95G new a couple years ago and has only fired it up 2 or 3 times. Hoping he will come across the box and instructions someday...
