Jim, thanks for the heads-up!
Coincidentally, I just got off the phone with the kiddo's father - let him know that I didn't get in on this one - and why.
It appears one way or the other, there's gonna be a 'Busse clan' blade on his gear. Just trying to work out the way it'll happen via which one. If nothing else, I'll send off one of the DMDCs I've got incoming (not preferred) or buy another at mark-up price off of ebay.
Before I do that though, I'll gratefully take your advice and drop a note to Jerry.
Again, thanks!
