Mine came from Europe as part of the Grey market bunch. No problems at all. I sold my Euro '73 to someone in the US. Again, no trouble at all. Why not buy it as a Canadian and ship it to Canada. This will solve your problems. Mark and I will be glad to look after it for a (long) while then ship it to you in the US.
