<<Wonder what the margins are on the Shuttlelock 770?>>

Great question and I don't know.
Below are some speculations about it though.

There are many combination of COGS % that you can use.

However, I tried to lock into 1995 first. After that,
you cannot stray to far from those %'s and still
be reasonable.

The most important question is:How high was the COGS %
for OTHER in 1995. I am guessing 64%.
