Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

I have a digifant equipped box that came from Karl Wolz in Phoenix a number
of years ago. Came out of his 1985 Westy I believe. It was never installed
in my van as I never got around to building the interface cable or the
display head. The 84 is gone so I have no need for it.

Any interest? Make me an offer.

Where ever you are, there you be. Unless you're driving my van, in which
case, you ain't got there yet.
