Yes the shaver cost $190, but the options are just compromises.  The
rivets look great and when you are up on top of the scaffolding - the
quicker the better, too.

The aluminum paint on the plastic cover is going to eventually flake, so
I am looking for an original aluminum vent cover so  I can have a local
electro-shape shop make 2 dozen or so.  Anyone know who might have one,
or have a damaged or beat up one for the cause?
