Mel: It's pretty discouraging to manufacturers when they only sell a couple units per year. The problem is to motivate our group to "focus on the here and now" and place an order so we can get this stuff done. Etching is gawdawful expensive to set up but once done is all variable cost plus brass sheet. The cinder conveyor is something many can use, New Haven centenary is not,with two or three big exceptions. A successor company bought the S line but we've not heard from them. Chris
