RE: Tips on buying SS rack from Jorgen?

["Craft, Nick" <ncc@scr.siemens.com>]

They sell to individuals, but the price is about $20 to $30 higher -- I
paid $200 for a rack from them recently, would have been $170-or-so if I
was a shop.
I mentioned to the phone rep. that they were getting some
recommendations from the Q-list and they should consider a discount for
us. She said she'd mention it to the owner, so be sure to mention the
list when you order.

The rubber bellows comes with the new rack. It's a convenient time to
replace any weeping hydraulic hoses.

Cheers,
Nick Craft
