The company I work for is a major customer, so that may have helped. However, a friend has just ordered the same parts, for $175 each from the same supplier and did not have the same association with the company that I did. The wait was about 10 days for me. It is two months for my friend. I am sure the price fluctuates, and it may very well depend upon your business relationship with the company you buy from. Marshal is not really in the business of selling small quantity to folks off the street. They are a volume supplier for equipment manufacturers. John G. -- John Gilbert !trwrb!felix!john
