[Collins] re source of hose for kws-1

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

I don't know what the original hose looked like, but I'd go hunting at 
McMaster-Carr. www.mcmaster.com. Like:
http://www.mcmaster.com/#5488K57 or
http://www.mcmaster.com/#5262K25 or
http://www.mcmaster.com/#5475K85 among their many listings of 1-3/4" ID 
flexible air ducts.
Some get pricey lined with Teflon. Looks like these are all required to 
be ordered in either full rolls or increments of 5 feet. The smoother 
the inside diameter the better the air flow. I didn't look at vacuum 
hoses but they offer them too.

Likely Fastenal and MSC have competitive hoses. I've not looked.
