Danny,

I think your suggestion is a great idea and has merit...I AM forwarding to
the POCA national Board members for discussion...If I can get a board member
to second the motion I'll have Bill Hohnhorst formalize it.
thanks
Dennis

Subject: Sonic tester


I just got off the phone with Marino.  He has a source 
for sonic block testers and would be willing to sell one 
(or more, I suppose) to the club at his cost (around $900).  
With all the concern over cylinder wall thickness, I think 
it would be a great thing for the club to buy one and 
make it available to members for a small rental fee.

It would work like this.  When you rent the device from 
the club, you hold it on your credit card.  If you break it 
or fail to return it, you agree to buy it or have it repaired. 
It's a no risk deal for the club and could turn into a modest 
money maker, depending upon the rental fee.  

For many (most?) of us, there are no local shops that 
have sonic testers.  I've called around in St. Louis and 
no one has one.  I've talked with many others in other 
parts of the country who are in the same situation.  

Well, Mad Dog, what would it take to make this happen?
