Hi Dave, I have seldom had the problems, you say you have, with locating the SAT. I will admit, that the SATlll, is more compact, and I am glad I upgraded. I use Bill Spurlocks, 'lid holder opener', and it completely solved the problem of the lid slamming shut, and pushing the SAT out of the way, that had happened a few times. The SAT survived the falls, with no problems. Regards, John M. Ross jrpiano@win.eastlink.ca
