<DIV><SPAN class=046570712-23012011><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The circuit board
can be ordered populated, in motive or heating designs, OR un-populated as
a bare board, that you would add the required components to.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=046570712-23012011><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Heating will
also work in motive, BUT motive will NOT work in heating, unless the additional
components are added to the board.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=046570712-23012011><FONT size=2 face=Arial>(Should I go into
production ?? ) I'm thinking of ordering 15 boards, etched, coated, and

<DIV><SPAN class=046570712-23012011><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The only "add-on's"
that one would need are: a case, power cord, cables to the sensors (18/2
or 16/2 cabtire SJO), High Limit control, Setpoint (Run/idle) control,
Vacuum setpoint overdraw control. (the last three items are basically specialty
switches from industrial controls, and are ONLY needed for the heating
version).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=046570712-23012011><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have no set price
as yet, but would assume the populated circuit board would be UNDER,
$ 350.00 US dollars, (heating version, motive version would be considerably
less).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

included. (No price at this time).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
