@Whispyhistory and Paradise Chronicle: looks like this claim is sourced to someone who is – while clearly dedicated – self-publishing data he collected firsthand on his personal website? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 12:49, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if this is the case, but for safety I've added an additional source for the record price.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 13:52, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks both @Theleekycauldron: and @Paradise Chronicle: ... will wait for @Philafrenzy: to look over. Whispyhistory (talk) 15:26, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, his web page is based on an article published in Linns which is a reliable source (for such things). I have changed the ref to Linns and reinstated the bit about flaws which are mentioned in the article. Should all be OK now. Philafrenzy (talk) 17:31, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
