    I keep getting e-mails from Western Electric about their imminent 300B re-issue, and how to pre-order them.

    Will see what the world thinks of them before getting interested. If at all. They don't seem to want to give up with the idea of making them.

    Anyway, glad the Psvane's are doing the business for you.
