Re: stations still using carts

["Brian Vita" <brian_vita@cssinc.com>]

If anyone knows of any cart machines and/or carts that are destined for the
dumpster or otherwise in need of a good home, please give me a call.  I'll
be glad to take them off your hands.  The same goes for any other production
equipment.  I'll pay for the call and the pickup!
