Wow, guess im lucky to have gotten mine too (A friend and I got 310 between
us)?  Glad to hear from so many people they work well (even though they may
be rejects?)  I just wanted to run by a few specs. for my planned MMC to see
what anyone has to say about it:

14 in series/string
9 strings
powered by (6) 15/60NSTs (360mA total - 5.4KVA)

that's 3 strings for every 2 transformers- do any of these specs. seem off?

thanks for your knowlege- Dave
