Thanks, Jon,
That's fabulous!
Nothing beats "free", and it lets you get a great plug for your company without actually violating the "commercial/advertising" rules here. Well played, sir!
Be aware that I and several others will be searching your website, now...

I've been making, rebuilding procon pumps for Tig coolers.
Now I've found a place I can buy them rebuilt cheaper than I can do it myself.
JC Beverage. Forty something, like new, ready to go. Right flow, right pressure, and tech support.
AND, they're nice to deal with!

Nice, looks professional. Do you have a mill or lathe in your home shop?
