Great to hear you finalized your set! It took three mismatched Tradition sets in order for me to get a complete one, and now I have a bunch of the more useless parts as a result.
I see you have the dreaded plastic case that can be very hard to unlatch - how does that work for you? I have two - one works okay and the other needs a screwdriver to pry it open. Also have the white box and that is my favorite. Easy to use and has small footprint.
I need a complete Classic III set - missed one on ebay but not in a rush. I am not piecing sets together anymore. Also need a G6 surface nozzle, but that can wait also.
Did you want any Tradition headlight caps with the lock on them (or lock parts)? The Plano some has some.

Rob,
I might be interested in a 159979S headlight cap and lock assembly.

Ben,
Please call the Plano shop at (972) 758-1210 and ask for James. I know he had some the last time I was there a couple weeks back. These are small enough to ship for like $10. If you can think of any other small parts you want, get them also to make good use of the shipping charge.
I believe the NOS cap assemblies were $15 but the more you buy the better the deal. He might even willing to sell them all to you at a nice discount!
) He did that to me for the 505 brushroll adjuster screws. For a little more than the cost of one of each, he sold me both whole bags...

Rob,
Does he accept PayPal? If yes, I would like to have his e-mail for that.

Ben, I have no idea on that but he will take a credit card over the phone. He is a very nice guy - worth calling him for sure!
