Not true on this one.  I have a catalog from an outfit called Tool-Tronics
(800-846-TOOL) and they have the 98 ($2850) 88 ($479) 78 ($279) 
77 ($215) and 73 ($130) listed in the catalog.  Not an electrical distributor
but a discount source for automotive things.  They offer a 20% discount 
off of the catalog prices.  Free shipping on orders over $50.  
Lots of other cool stuff!
