Great!  I like my 37-116.  Works great and sounds good for AM.  Next project...don't know. Probably work on the airplane.  I have a leaking fuel tank.

Looks great! Hope sounds as good.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
