Jerry,
I agree with you 10000000% I put a query out about making some new KC/MC 
knobs like I did before. You can not believe the BS about ripping people 
off on the price. The first go around I had a little better deal. That 
machine shop closed down and moved out of state along with the program 
going to some unknown place with the old CNC and the guy that did it is 
history. So the new price to me is about 300% more plus the powder 
coating and the clamp with the screw, nut, washer and then all of the 
processing of the orders. If lucky I might make $3.00 on a set. That 
makes my time worth about .00001 mil..
Why don't the price police go get off of there fat you know what and 
make and market some of the stuff that is so badly needed at the price 
they want to pay and watch their bank account go south.

The el cheapo's Pee me off to no end. Most of them would cry if they had 
to pay for the electricity to run a fully restored R-390A that was given 
to them by any of the qualified restorers for free. Then bitch because 
it was heavy.
Not withstanding I have dealt with close to a 1000 guys on the 
reflectors with no problems and in all cases they are happy as far as I 
know.

OOPS! slipping off of the soap box,
Hank
