Jan,

Yes, it is true about "old" Stronglight headsets...............

SAABs on the other hand, deserved a better "fate" than GM, but for all I know they are doing well these days????????? The oldest SAAB dealership in the Northeast (ca 195?) just opened up a new branch about 10 miles from where I live.....talk about "retro" dreams.............
