The place I do some work for just bought 5 racks - 3 at 19x30 and 2 at 19x24. Paid $260 for the lot. Naval surplus. A bit scruffy but they'll clean up nicely. Locally we also have a suprlus places that always have racks stacked around. I work for/with the king of the scroungers - but he scrounges quite well. -- bill@bilver.magicnet.net | bill@bilver.com
