[edit: removed off topic ramblings] My boss quit; I am boss-less
but applying for it.
I've been scouring eBay for a blower. Nothing useful yet, but the Grainger website (
www.grainger.com) comes in handy for specs. I'm still keeping in mind finding a 32" tube; I think this is going to come down to a lucky find, while driving around town.
More links that may come in handy, for those interested:
