shortcuttomoncton: The other thing was, I did get ahold of Martin Olsen about the Beocord drive belt. I can order one from him, but I just got to wondering if there was a more-local North American person/business who sells them as well; it seems kind of ridiculous to get this thing shipped halfway around the world! If not I'll probably just order

jandyt: Wow! How decent of you to consider this. I was going to say sorry for hijacking your thread but now, I'm glad I didn't. Next you need to guage how many are interested. Can you do polls if not perhaps you could ask a mod to do one for you. Hozabout it Chris? Andy T. Sure - if Kingstreet confirms he is willing to be host to this (which

Graham (joeyboygolf) is our resident expert on these so I'm sure he'll

The very best of luck from me too Alex. I'm sure you're going to do very well and I admire your dedication. Looking forward to seeing you back here in a month, Beoworld will be a little emptier without you. Chris.
