Alex, 

I had traded mine as part of a deal to acquire an O-Scope, 
and I regret it, so if you can make some more, I will be 
definitely in the market for one, probably two. 

I was looking at the possibility of making some myself, 
however, I have so much other stuff to do, it's not going 
to happen. I definitely do want one though. 

Thanks,
