While I was going over this piece a customer brought in a current made double S x S from Europe for some work. I laid the 1938 Geyger down and looked at his and headed straight to the bathroom with an upset stomach. He then told me what he paid, and I went back to the bathroom for a second visit. I am OK; I just live in a different world.
