Hi Matt, and hello to everyone here on the list.,

Say I just had a look- see at "E" bay and I saw some halfway decent deals 
out there you got to just have the patience to keep on looking.I have had 
great luck with my 20 amp china special.Also I bought a powerstat 1265D for 
$50 bucks a while back just hang in there and watch out for the deals.
