I looked at them before, kind of built on the same theory as a Jogunn, not quite as expensive though, and if you do a google search, you will see that they are on sale for 25 percent off at one place!

MrClean
If you know anyone who has one at this present
time go for it.
My father in-law had a 5-element Gixmotchy he
sold it now he wishes he had never got re of it.
It worked great the sad part of this he sold it
for $60.00
