 Yes, the LMMU hotwire system would be probably one of the best things going
once its in production for my setup. Depends on the price also..I got the
setup I am going to use for free(almost) from a shop that owed me $$, so I
am not out a bunch of bucks for my plaything. Would be interested to know
the approximate price for Jim's when it is a done deal...AA Daryl
