Top secret design. I'll call them tomorrow, but they need a new telephone attitude. They aren't doing me a huge favor by answering the phone with a snotty attitude, I'm doing them a favor by calling them to see if that is what I need. One of these is even a banjo style. I doubt if the cable chain has room for two of these hoses but it would be nice. However by the time I get the home & limit switch cables into it, I have doubts there'll be room for an air hose. Might have to get bigger cable chain. Hopefully same design, this stuff actually has a lid you can open and re-close. Handier than that famous button on the outhouse door even. ;-) Thanks Greg. More below though.
