- My BERG catalog is brand new. When I called for the quote, I asked them
- for a price list and was told that they are not made available. Not offering
- price lists to go along with catalogs is a MAJOR pet peeve of mine.

- My current project requires moving a 48 Lb. load so I figured using steel
- drive components was a prudent decision. Next time I need lighter duty
- drive elements, I plan on doing a simular price comparison. I'd also
- be interested in hearing anyone elses results.
