    It is just marvelous! Suburb! Gorgeous! Sexy! Kinky?

    I did this for obvious reasons! I was bored at work today...

    For what it's worth I called heartland and got the price for these handles. CF-30 Handle Assembly - DFKH8009YB-0 - $68.30

    Enjoy! :D

    The $49 price was reported by Rick 03-18-2008
    Thats 2 1/2 years ago and they have gone up a bit

    My online check with panasonic I find this
    DFKH8009ZA-0 HANDLE 68.27

    And Rob's if it is 20 seconds old is even more current

    $68.00 :eek: I will duct tape a stylus to the original handle before I spend that much on a handle. I guess I am just too much of a tightwad.

    OK; but the part numbers are different:

    Rick: DFKH9009YA-0

    Rob: DFKH8009ZA-0

    A "typo" perhaps? :confused:

    Since I did "copy & paste" when I created my parts list, it wasn't mine. ;)

    BTW: I thought the price was extreme when it was $49.30 :(

    Bit at $68.27 .... :eek: :swoon:

    I can double check tomorrow with heartland, but I'm pretty damn sure it's what I got because I copied and pasted too :)

    They are all the same
    Panasonic makes small revisions to their part numbers

    Yeah... But the handle does NOT lock into place though it look okay when retracted. When you use your finger... who needs a stinking stylus?

    I did it once because... Well... I had too! ;)
