<DIV>I agree about the MCM issue, sometimes they have what you need, but the prices are through the roof(for what your getting,usually) although, I must say, I never had a problem with them messing up my parts orders, or having price differences on the invoices... I'd use them if I HAD to, otherwise... I'd keep looking around for as long as I could to find a much cheaper source. Belive me, they are around... It's a long shot, but check with L-3 communications in Alpheretta ,Ga. I used to work there doing commercial/Military anti-lock wheel braking systems.(incredible place to work, by the way... )At that particular building they repair/design some of the coolest instruments in aircraft today, I just don't know if the sell or deal with the public...Dano...<BR><BR><B><I>simpits-tech-request@simpits.org</I></B> wrote:
