Dr. Resonance,
Dolph's AC-43C costs a small fortune and on top of that, I haven't been 
able to find an outlet and several emails to the company, using their email 
address posted on their site, go unanswered. I suppose what Steven and I 
are looking for are the dielectric and electrical properties of clear 
enamel, since we can't afford much else. Thanks.
Paul
