Probably can - given the fact that I'm prepared to forego any labour
charge or development cost. I know what my 3A controller costs - it's
about a third of what you charge for a PVP2435. To get it commercially
built and carry stock - no way!! I can see where you're coming from
and don't particularly think you are overcharging.

I'll answer some of the other replies whilst on this email - the
Gecko's you mentioned are $114 in the USA - You charge £99 + VAT - I
certainly don't think you are overcharging there - custom and practice
seems normally to dictate that $1=£1. Good on you for not following
that example (I do realise your not paying $114).

If I ordered direct it "could" possibly cost me

$114 = £82 USA sales price
+ 22% import duty
= £96 (approx) + VAT

I'd rather pay Alzanti the extra 3 quid for the hassle involved!

Larry E. got it about right - I just want to do something "home made"
and save a quid (buck) or two in the process. If it's an advantage to
someone else - that's a bonus!!


BTW Paul - I'll be ringing you this week sometime - I need some nice
cheap steppers ;)
