Tim, you can buy the C/O analyzer for 1/2 of what it sells for in this
country and yes it is the same unit "Gunson", Holden & Co. www.holden.co.uk
sells them for $80.00 (US) that compares to $170.00 here in thios country,
or the deluxe model for $149.00 compared to $220.00, and this unit tells
all, RPM's, dwell, etc.  "FT"
