Steve-that picture of the retired operator in the seat just makes the point of what a great idea this is. Most old ex-operators probably want nothing to do with a tiny radio with levers, switches and buttons all over it but when they see the chair sitting between those consoles, this looks familiar to them and they get excited about giving it a try. Also, I am not surprised he did a great job. Anyone who did this for 20 years can probably do this in their sleep!! Maybe the word will get out that you have this and more retired operators will come out to the shows and try there hand at this set-up. The down side is the fact that it may cut into your operating time but I think this is a great thing that you have done. Hope you have fun with it!!
