Re: Re: Bulk buy on Wintron flybacks

Well, that's about thirty so far...I'm going to talk further with the
fellow and see what we can come up with, I'll take all the requests as part
of the design specs: A schematic, off the shelf parts, cheap parts, small
size, and I want to use the Molex connector for the WG and the AMP for the
Ampliphone, making them plug-and-play!

The $100 estimate is for Vector group only, I think we can sell these
retail for $150US each.
