Wes,
  I agree with you on this--BUT--only if  "people" keep their "paws" out of the Tormat Unit itself.(for those of you who do not know, there is NOTHING inside the Tormat to "fix"--just things to brake)  Ron Rich

  JC, one factor in my expertise includes the Tormat system as used in the 
earlier Seeburgs. I consider these types 'hybrids' because they do not use a 
CPU. The components used
in the controllers are discrete and are easily replaced. I believe because 
of this fact,they should be around long after later systems will be 
relegated to the scrap heap. Wes
