Peter: Berg has some fine stuff, but, well, what can a Texan say!! They ARE
a NJ firm, so, have been so-long beset and accustomed to taxation and
mafia-controlled union wages, etc. that their pricing is proud. Some
shopping can save you money!

Don't get me wrong! I use some Berg stuff, when it is not available
elsewhere. Some is, though. Try Helical, direct. Or, Servomotor or
whatever the name is. Once was a time "all" manufacturers sold ONLY through
distributors or "third parties", but nowadays, many manufacturers sell
direct! UPS and VISA cards make this practical.
