Great finds there Ziggy if only Deeptech would change the look of their product line to a more modern design (smaller control box and straight shaft) and maybe a 10 turn GB pot then maybe more people would give them a try all the Deeptech line that i have tried have been great performers.

On one of the Nokta Impact Facebook groups a member has said that a dealer called ''Vance'' said

So have they shipped yet ?
