Hi Allan,

We've put in a few gennies manufactured by Tiger Power in PA.  I have found
them to meet all of your requirements, they are of high quality, and are
reasonably priced.  The company has been good to deal with.

Contact Jim Mandes at (800) 779-8809 or www.tiger-power.com if you would
like more info.

Mo
