Say Adam, i saw by chance they are selling shurflo pumps at ebay germany,
but no Flojet.
I think to remember you had something to say about those. Since i have
lost all my mail in the harddisk failure i can't look it up. (well, i
could use the archives but yahoo frightens me these days...)

If you know the shurflo, please comment.
I'm not actively looking for a pump right now, but i'd rather keep my eyes
open than buy one expensive when i want to have another go at the sprayer.

thanks

(P.S.: I'm just now making PCBs with silicone paper, maybe have some new
results later on. Things looking good.)
