Hey Craig,
    I suspect that I'll get more than a few colorful responses to this
    suggestion when I post it to the list, but here goes, all the same:
    If you're looking for an outstanding rolling mill that's just
    slightly used, hang in there -- I'm sure a good one'll eventually
    cross your path. In the interim, though, if you'd be willing to
    settle for a good, reasonably useful one (that'll probably only last
    you the length of your initial  learning period, after which time
    hopefully you'll probably in position to replace it with a fancier
    one), you might try touching base with fellow Orchidian Kenneth
    Singh at 46 Jewelry Supply in NY City (also  AT  www.ringtools.com). He
    has a unit in his online catalog with five replaceable 3" rollers
    (two smooth ones, one for rolling wire and two for rolling patterned
    bands, etc.) for something like US$250 or $275. I haven't seen this
    mill "up close and personal", but suspect that it's of either Indian
    or Chinese origin, and that it'll do the trick, albeit less
    glamorously than a Dunston mill might. As I recall, Kenneth offers
    some sort of warrantee with his products, so this just might cover
    what you need. All of the usual disclaimers apply, here;  I've only
    done business with Ken a few times, but all of my experiences have
    been good ones. Good luck to ya! 


All my best,
