Two things:
1. The prices on E-bay are not what they used to be. There aren't any deals.
2. Portlights of a specific variety are just plain expensive. New Pearson portlights from the original mold will cost $525 each!

Scrap?
Ok, I admit it, it was me. I got the ports yesterday and they were in pretty good condition. The one I worked on a bit cleaned up nicely. The thing is, I have a WC Triton with non-opening ports. I hoped these would be a direct replacement but, they are much smaller. Not sure what I'll do about that yet. As far as the price goes, I wish I could have got them cheaper but, I've been looking for opening triton ports for a while and never saw one, let alone a full set of 6. I considered going to a ABI 4" bronze round ports but, that would have been a lot of work to change to those and it would have changed the look of the Triton. Not to mention, they run over $300 each! This was a bargain by comparison.
Is it supposed to do that?
