Hi Scott,

The AC-1 was my first xmtr and my brother and I worked as kids installing
fence posts for a guy who paid us 15 cents per post installed. We had to
install 100 posts to get the $15 credit in exchange for the xmtr. We have
never forgot the work ethic ever since. We still have that little guy and
if that were not enough, I was not happy with all the holes we drilled
in the first one for all those improvement mods so I finally paid the
price for a mint one at todays prices. After all its my first xmtr and
sure stirs many a fond memories. I do use it now and then and its still
fun
