Re: (ET) Power Disconnect for an E12M

["MR23=Christopher Meier \(Mtka, MN, USA\)" <mr23 worldspy net>]

I ordered a new power disconnect up from Bill this morning.
He's charging $32.50 for a part # OP134 power disconnect.
Steve, is this the same unit you refer to?  How long ago did
you order it at < $20?  Thanks.
