Hi all
	I just checked the UK price for the miller eletrodes and bases. The
electrodes are about 18 dollars each. If anyone on the list living in  the
USA would be willing to send me 4 I am sure that even with the postage and
VAT (sales tax) it would still be worth while. Please let me know off list. 

many thanks.
