That sounds like the Marshall Brass 260 which as you say was discontinued in favor of the 290. If there is a stock of these available it would certainly be a service to the list, as the 290 is a couple inches longer and necessitates bending the copper lines going up into the body of the van. Bus Depot are you listening? The Marshall Brass people, when I spoke to them five years ago, didn't say *why* they d/c'ed the 260, but it was a bloody nuisance for us Westphalia folks david
