Bill -

Thank you for your quick response. I've ruled out the MK IX A with
averager due to it's price and the probable cost of shipping. The
other one has been apparently been reconditioned by its seller who
removed the clockwork. I gather it's also in the UK.
I'm going to ask the seller what the cost to ship here to St. John
(USVI) will be and will bid on it.

As a fall-back I'm also watching a Link A-12 which sounds good.
Another bidder asked the seller if the two (?) chambers had fluid and
bubbles; the seller said yes.

Thanks again, Hewitt

190312688318, it does has an automatic averager, as does the one for sale on 
the US site. These are excellent instruments that give good results. For use 
on land, the Mark IX may have advantages as it does not have the extra weight 
of the clockwork averager. It has a six-shot finger-operated averager. The 
latter is fairly easy to put back into order if disordered. I would not touch 
the IXA averager without substantial clock-repairing experience. There is a 
reconditioning manual available (mine!) if need be.
