@CHECK Re: [Rhodes22-list] boom room

[Bill Effros]

Bob,

They ain't cheap.  Too much detail work and a lot of canvas.  I assume 
you have the Pop-Top Enclosure.  I tried to find out if Alex and Pamela 
had an interest in taking a crack at this, but Alex never replied.  I'm 
sure we can drive down the price if a bunch of us order at the same 
time, but I doubt we can drive down the price very far.  On the other 
hand, I doubt they will ever be available in the future at the price we 
will pay.
