     I would suggest you contact Martha at the Disneyana Exchange.  There is 
a newsletter which comes out monthly with wanted, for sale, and trade items.  
TheDisneyana Exchange acts as a neutral gobetween.  Subscribers ($24.00 per 
year) tell her what they want to receive, she adds a 10% sellers premium and 
then lists either the lowest or three lowest asking prices.  The buyer has to 
pay 10% over that.  The buyer calls her, she verifies with the seller that 
item is still for sale, seller ships to her while she calls buyer to send 
payment to her, she inspects item to make sure both undamaged and what it 
actually is, she allows time for check to clear and then transships item to 
buyer, after time allowing buyer to receive item and examine it, she sends 
the payment to the seller.  On this, for example if you wanted to sell an 
item for $300, she would list it for $330 and the buyer would pay $363; you 
get your $300, she gets $63 but has long distance and shipping costs.  
   Her phone number is 407-438-5634; Monday to Friday 9 to 6 Eastern Time.  
Recent issue shows Jiminy (wheel or clef) for $195 and complete kit (wheel) 
for $255, so cost to buyer would be $204.50 or $280.50 for the complete kit.
