Had a lot of access to their gear at the factory (in the distant past), and ncluding Patrick Moraz's triple.
Dave (Van Koevering) is a hell of a nice guy, but the technology just didn't work then, or now.

This item falls in the category of I have this thing that's a piece of shit but it's a RARE piece of shit, therefore it's got to be worth a lot of money. eBay is full of auctions like this -- and the stuff sells!
