One of the big hits of the show was the CD 141.7 Twiggs insulators recently found by Andy Wadysz. He brought many of the 12 that he recently acquired and Dick Bowman brought the first one found for comparison. They were nearly identical in appearance and molding - a really exciting find for the hobby! Several found new homes at the show.
