[PRCo] Re: Dollar

A few more?   I think I paid about $300 for my first model.   Some of  
the more recent ones have been twice that.   But then I might be  
comparing apples and prunes.   The West Penn 700 was over $700.    
PCCs probably sell a whole lot better making it easier to amortize  
the set up costs.
