> damage, etc. We can usually bring them back to life.

> The relays are custom made for us from a US based relay company in 
> Chigaco.
> We sell replacements for $16.00  Try to buy one for less and I think you
> will agree were not gouging anyone.

> I wish the group a HNY and do look at the new Eight Pak.
> It has been working for 2 years out of doors now, and we are proud of it's

> new control scheme. And the relays are common off the shelf type made by
> many different relay vendors. They are reliable.
