He might accept or hang on for other bids.. Last time he put a double on eBay it went above that price and was unpainted... I'd like to save...

Re: INTERESTING RAFFLE OPPORTUNITY

Sorry that I "bumped" this topic to the top of the list. What I really wanted to do was remove the topic since I probably won't offer it this coming year. Any one out there able to remove this topic?

Re: CNC Milling of model turbine rotor video

Fred: Thanks for the info. I'll keep an eye on Herbach & Rademan. They certainly have a nice selection of geared motors. My eBay explorations haven't yet produced any leads, but I'll keep looking.
