At this time one can get brand new Shimano and Sugino compact cranks (will less retro arms, I admit) for half of that price and acquire a vintage used thing for about a sixth of the price.
And, please consider this as feedback, vs. a naysaying (because this is what is meant to be). You are getting free marketing here with this post, anyways

I want to know where I can find a vintage used one for one sixth of $160. I've been looking for a decent used Stringlight 49D or equivalent for at least a year and haven't seen one in any condition for anything near $26.67.
