WOuld agree, and qualitty employment.

Obviously you have more faith in the human race than I have. IF they see
doom staring them in the face, but hte guy
handing out the half a loaf of wonderbread says they're
mistaken they'll believe him and take their half a loaf.

BK>  Worth considering. Do they have 12 volt units?

NOpe, I checked.  Total power consumption 400 watts.  4 amps at 117 vac.  I
figure run off a power inverter, with the
inefficiency of the inverter factored in we're drawing 30-35 amps.  That
means on my 100 amp/hr monster gel, if she's the only thing on it she's got
about 2.5 hours on the machine if mains power is unavailable before we
switch her to canned
air.

FIgure that's a couple pictures of Ben Franklin, as I want
an inverter that gives me a good sine wave because of audio
production work, and any other precision electronics that
must be run from a.c.
