REFLECTOR: Source for LED based annunciator parts

[Craig and/or Denise Woolston]

How timely.  I just went through getting a quote from the same people Brett
used (FMW Distributors) and the Honeywell AML59 annunciators are reasonable
(6.92 ea) it's the minimum (5) and engraving charges ($15 per label) that
are adding up.  But if a couple of us went in together we could offset the
engraving charges.  Do I have any takers, I'll put the order together and do
the logistics if anyone interested.  John and I need our soon, so this is
something I would want to do in the next two weeks or so.

Here is our current list, but were open to negotiating labels and colors to
combine more orders.  Remember you we get 9 characters and either red,
yellow or green.

RED Annunciators
DOOR OPEN
LOW SUMP
BRAKE DWN
ENGINE

Yellow Annunciators
CAUTION
LOW MAIN
LOW ESTL
XFEED

Hiroo -

I got the Honeywell Microswitches from FMW Distributors.  They're a little 
pricey, but they're nice.  I worked with Tyler there.
