>> Think of an Ameco AC-1 and how YOU would hack it; i.e. -  modify the circuit, the chassis, etc.

>> We KNOW our price point but we are curious to know what you think is fair. Hams are the cheapest bastards on the face of the earth and we know that - but they will pay a fair price for a nicely designed Hollow State rig.
