Looking for a great arm that is low maintenence

Doug and Sirspeedy - I will have the cosmos and the rest shipped overnight, even though regular UPS is overnight from Chicago. I don't want to take any chances.

The rest of the advice you offer is also of experience, and therefore wise. I will follow your recommendations. I have been tempted to just drive down there and get it myself. It's only a few hours...

Doug, you're starting to sound like Larry. He told me the same thing about anticipation when I talked to him yesterday.

I have been thinking about getting a set of Wally Tools for setting the cosmos/triplaner/zyx combo up, any thoughts on the need for the tools?

Thanks

Doug, you're starting to sound like Larry.

One of us has surely been insulted, though I really can't say which.

Nrchy,

If it is not that bad of a drive, I would drive and pick it up. It will take any problems out of the equation and you can pay for the gas and hotel with the money you save.

It would also give you a chance to meet the Sota people and possibly hear your table set up in their system (nice to have the comparison to what you have at home).

I am insulted, not Doug.... (Doug, I meant that in the nicest way possible).

It's only 3.5 hours from here to Chicago. I think I'll call Kirk and Donna and see if they would be agreeable to me picking up the table/arm/cartridge. At least that way I couldn't blame anyone else if something happened in transit.

Thanks again for all the advice.
