They need to talk to somebody who is familiar with the work of a number of
the rebuilders in Wisconsin.    Bill Bremmer does.  Hi Bill.  Bob Hoff (sp?
Hopf?) too, right?  Have them call Tim Farley in Madison.  Between those
three, they will get opinions to sort through. It shouldn't be too hard to
make something play better than one of those new K&Cs though!!!
