RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] sub building business

["Gregory B. Snyder" <snyder@mnrad.com>]

Hi Guys - 
I think that parts would be awesome.
Something like the controllers, motors, hatches, domes and other
acrylic, lights - etc.
A sub, ala carte.
I know that I personally spent about 20 hours web surfing to see if I
could find an appropriate hatch.
Having a source to get this stuff would be great.
Does building form components give the manufacturer the same liability?

By the way - Happy New Year.
Greg

I don't see how this could do anything but boost
interest in the hobby. I'd love to see someone doing
this.
