REFLECTOR:Eyeball vents

[Andy Millin]

Got the last 6.  Man, he said he had 59 of them when I called.  Guess they
didn't last long.

I hope they work well for you.

Alex, are you going to be at OSH this year?  Maybe see you at the Velocity
dinner...

Best,

Andy

Yes, thanks Andy, I got the last 6 of them, not arrived yet, they said one
was inop, but they threw that one in, so I'm not complaining, hope that they
are in as good condition as the ones that you received...

Andy,

Thanks for posting the information.  I bought four vents and they are
"as advertised."  This gives me a total of six vents, two from
factory for the panel, and four others to deliver either hot or cold
air as needed to front and back.
