Re: Was Chopper circuit - Now ver 3.2

Hello Steve,

Thanks for the vote of confidence ;-)

Unfortunately we have to carry stock :-(( and make some profit to pay
the mortgage (or wifes shopping !!)..... but, we've been upsetting
the UK drives market for over 20 years by not ripping people off with
our lower margins. Our competion hate it and do everything to try
and stop us (hence the Kevlar back shield).

Apart from the standard range of Sanyo steppers we stock, we also
import some others direct from the Far East..... let me know "off
list" and I'll see if we can help.
