| wow, ok, I get it now. It would be tough to say, but I know what you mean. (60fpm, 90fpm, etc.)
Hmmmm. Maybe nmfire would be willing to sit there and count the flashes his makes each minute. Tim, I have to ask you before everyone else does: Why do you need this information? Are you just curious? I'm simply asking,,,not trying to be a wiseguy. |

| [quote:a9f4c4fa46=\"James Harrow\"]Tim, what do you mean by advrage speed? Like slow, medium, etc.?
Isn't it roughly the same as in a MX7000? I would think there is a default speed, if you will, simply because those things would break if they were designed to move extremely fast? |

Having had owned a Vista and MX; there is a BIG difference between the two and their sweep speeds. The speed of the MX sweeps is much faster than the Vista sweeps. The Vista's are slowwwwwwww! That was a big disappointment with the Vista I had.

| ...& w/the MX there are Pursuit lights & Intersection lights with the Pursuit lights having a narrower sweep \"path\".
Narrower path = faster movement (sort of). |

Would it be possible to get some MX sweeps and put them inside of the back of my Vista?

I don't think so; they are designed different. The MX sweeps are also larger.

| Tim I want to know why you keep ignoring my eMails......
You post on the board every day yet refuse to contact me back regarding our transaction. I'm not angry if you've changed your mind, but leaving me in the dark here is no fun either. |
