	Actually, i have an extra solid state driver board (as you see in
the picture) - the PCB vendor i work with requires a 2 board minimum when
ordering.

	I'll see this bareboard, along with six (6) IRFP460 500V FETs, (2)
TC4421 and (2) TC4422 and (1) TL494 PWM Controller for the first $50.00 who
takes it.  The parts alone are about $50.00
