I needed a couple of dial center rings, and I went a bit overboard buying these http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150397063368.
( dead link 08-09-21 )

It looks like two AE wheels, several AE centers, at least one WE center ring, and a North wheel and ring, among other things.  Now I'll be starting a parts collection.

Pretty good mix of AE and WE stuff. What else was included that wasn't listed.
You got a fair deal, for the price.

I just paid for the stuff today, so I'll have to wait a few days to see what there is.  The seller did mention that there were some plastic finger wheels also included.  I figured that the cost for all of this would be less than for three dial centers, and I already need two.  I might decide to resell some of the stuff.  Also, the North wheel is a somewhat unusual item, so they must be worth something.

Larry I can guarentee if you sell some un-needed bits, another fixer-upper will turn up 6 months down the line needing EXACTLY the bits you sold to complete it.
