Elmer, Re; Higher current/speed... I know they will run faster, but cook easier, so they may be sold as lower speed units to keep them from being run at their max and have a short life....the other choice is scrap if they will run so hot that they will slowly degrade at their max (short-term) speed. I would expect that they would totally track all parts from wafer to waffle furnace to get the maximum feedback. It seems that there are things that every maker does, but with special details, that makes it imperative you keep quiet lest some seemingly trivial detail allows the competition to increase their yield by a %. Well, I think many people appreciate some tech information as it puts some aspects into a better perspective for investment purposes...... DD in depth as it were. However we have probably exhausted this topic for now. Thanks for your answers, they go into the mill and I will think on them, and I will see if I can get some better questions for you and others to looks over. Bill
