The color is black. Not a good start, I know. The models that Bachelor 54 has suggested seem to be the right ones, although the later model suggested by the gentleman at Nostalgic air might even be better as it is supposed to neeed less power to operate and is even more efficient. I'll have to look into the brackets that he suggested as well, although Eric may have the right one as well. This is going to have to sit for a while as my list has grown expotentially over the last two weeks. I need a clone.
