That the one Hanson had in NYC? I bought a 24 shift from him at the time, and
regretted not getting the 180 as well.

I'm glad he gave you a rebate, 'cause he said he'd convert it back to OM for me
if I bought it.
I seem to remember that his repair/mod guy retired -- perhaps that's why it
wouldn't go back to OM.
I'm glad I saved the 24 shift from a similar fate -- at the time, he said he
converted and sold every one he could get hold of.
