Griff,
Several tried to get this going earlier with no luck. I just happened to get their attention when I did and the negotiations managed to drag out (as expected for a company that has never sold direct).
We got a decent price but the timing really sucked. They know it too!

I got mine yesterday and it had some shipping damage to the parts kit& the intake hose. A call to David has the parts coming Fed-x.

I bought by credit card and don't see the broker charges. 50 for freight, that is it. Maybe some came from MI and some from CANADA??
