[RE-wrenches]

[Mark Downing]

Have you used the phone number in the last couple of
years, or did you get them from old records?

I last spoke to Bob at the 1999 energy fair, and at
that time the company was essentially defunct.  In
July of 1998 I hauled a set of collectors to them for
repair.  The collectors are still in Chicago 2.5 years
later.  The cells were NOT holding up to the heat, and
degraded fairly rapidly.  (~50% in 2 years)  I watched
this happen with the only Midway array I ever sold.

I've come to the conclusion that installing a set of
tracking panels with an active tracker is like taking
on a baby-sitting job.  There's just too many ways for
it to fail.  Zomeworks trackers are a whole lot less
trouble maintenance-wise.
