José,

Sri the rotator broke.  Pse keep us informed as to how Prosistal
responds; their explanation for the failure + their promptness to
respond.  They should understand that this type of information could be
very damaging to their business.  They did, however,  respond to
ON4ANT's problem very promptly.

73,
