Sounds nice, Rich! Would some of those kits be cartridge stuff and such?

Hey Guys. Just a note about Route 66, we have over the years been on

the slow side of shipping but we have improved that and in the next

few weeks we will be launching our new Route66 site.  I am bringing

back the VFXSD series E coolers as well as a few new mod kits just for

this series.

If you don't want to start your computer every time you need your

manual we still have ALL the VFX series manuals and service docs.

I would love to hear from users on what mod or replacement part they

would like to see.
