[Boatanchors] 8640 Gears and W5WP's email

[Dave Brown]

Theres someone (Greg Bowne?) on one of the other lists (maybe agilent 
equipment?) I'm across who has started making sets of replacement 
gears available for the 8640- he's at the beta test stage right now I 
understand but has done, or is doing, a run of 1000 or so.
Might pay to ask around for details.
