Imagine that...none in stock and the SALESman just happens
not to like it as much!  Amazing coincidence.  ;-)

Thanks for the report, Tom!

And now it will have to be about $30 better!  I managed to
extract a volume discount out of my supplier, so I can retail
the Logan 4x5 panel for $52.50.  As an introductory offer for
the benefit of this list, I'll make it $50 plus $4.50 shipping.
mailto:ptww@xxxxxxxxx off-list by Tues 11/2 if you would like
one.  Or order on-line at http://www.rmm3d.com (enter "Logan
light panel - $50 special" in the "notes" field; I don't have
it set up in the product pick list yet).  I'll wait to see
what the demand is before placing my order with the supplier,
so expect a 5-10 delay before I ship.
