So how was VCF Midwest?

[Paul Anderson]

I think both drives (I left one in the van) have the new style elbow. The
old ones are a pain.  They only take a minute to check. I try to keep a few
of the new ones on hand, along with the other parts. I also had copies of
the RK05/RK11 tech tips, RK8E, and other training handouts not sold by DEC. 

Thanks, Paul

For a working one, I don't think that's too bad.  Hopefully the amber
plastic elbow in the filter air handler is still intact - I've seen
those things get really brittle.  There are plenty of things that can
fail in an RK05, but fortunately, they are easy to work on.

I should be back in the Midwest in plenty of time for it.  Purdue is a
little under 5 hours from my house - not too far.
