    GRS Satellite Turntable Package

    How old are you?

    Old enough to know better. That has not stopped me though. 66, and just began to focus on learning this skill set. When you quit learning you quit growing.

    Hello

    Thank you. I cerainly will offer any help asked for, when and if I think I can add anything of value. Everyone brings something to the table, and no one can never know all there is, or afford to quit learning. In my experience even a novice can sometime ask the right question, or offer an idea...
