So I'm a few year ahead of you. Not posting on purpose. I enjoyed the 
thread and your posts but do not want to pro-long it at this point. I 
actually can not remember the model number 1076 or something like that. It 
required most of the A/C in the building (Redstone) to cool it. A fun day 
was when a shunk got in the building. We all got to go home.

best,
Doug
