Well, all that is true, Bob, but I'm actually pretty content with the LX winders I have. My "homebrew" and equipment mod days are more-or-less over, I think (or, at least, let us just say "there's a break in the action" - <g>). I do enough damage in the world of software nowadays without also venturing into the hardware jungles, too... > ...And those puppies humm with new batteries - 4 or 5 fps!

However, I think that the true mark of a good whale shooter is not the possession of a high-speed motordrive burning a half a roll per breach, but is the practiced ability to time a single shot with the precision of experience - <g>. The winder is merely a convenience for getting ready for the next breach, right? ;-) Fred
