+1 on the Accupower.I bought one and am pleased with it.  In the event you purchase one, I suggest you opt for one which allows for future growth.Regards,Jose

Gentlemen, I will have to start a new thread.   However,  I have  received my "Final Lab VTT-1 reference ".  It must weigh 70lbs, maybe more,  It is a thing of beauty! How do I post a picture here??
