Bob, There are two new models – the 1940 and the 1942, Basic difference is that one has .39 dot pitch and the other .28. both have built in stereo speakers and thus are ideal for the 1200. Pete Jones, Brussels, Belgium, flying on AutoPilot

I can't wait! As long as they're cheaper than a 1960 anyway. 🙂 Bob Comer — Cruising the nets on AutoPilot

Bob, I have had the manual kicking around on my desk since February. Would you like the full tech spec? The price here is 18000 Belgian Francs, which is about 600 dollars at the present rate of exchange. Its bound to be a lot cheaper stateside, though.

If you don't mind, I'd definitely like to see the specs. 🙂 Thanks! Bob Comer — Cruising the nets on AutoPilot

Thank you!!! Looks like the 1942 is what I've been waiting for! Bob Comer — Cruising the nets on AutoPilot

Bob, The downside is that they are not yet being delivered here yet, despite being shown at a show in February. The date keeps getting put back. Pete Jones, Brussels, Belgium, flying on AutoPilot
