                re:  12 conductor Steppir control cable
Mike,   Tnx for the inq'y.
Please contact me directly at my email or phone, and indicate the length you 
need.  I think it better of me not to get into one on one specific inquiries 
via this good web site and its readers.   Tnx, Steve   K1PEK    DAVIS  RF 
Co.
