    It does indeed! :-D Considering the markup of $500 worth of parts, I'd call it a below-ground-floor opportunity! I told the boss that if he'll buy me the machine tools, I'll have a prototype done in a jiffy, at a much lower cost.

      Build two and sell one for a massive mark-up, offsetting the cost of the first. (The accountant inside me speaks!)

                            I recently looked into these as well (was thinking of buying one instead of paying someone 150$ to come check the sewer line from my new house out to the street.) The prices I found disuaded me... However, here is one good for up to 130ft for $1100 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003YDLRJI/ref=asc_df_B003YDLRJI1339802?smid=ACXZDXAAF532Y&tag=nextagusmp0404127-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395105&creativeASIN=B003YDLRJI[^]

                            It's an excellent suggestion, but I'm afraid the lines in question are a bit longer than 130'. I may still try it, as I can design a decent video amp to extend the cable, but the boss keeps me stuck in admin stuff these days, and doesn't let me play designer very often. :(

                              You'd be surprised at the number of good suggestions I've received over the years from this dysfunctional lot. They're weird, but wonderfully bright people, and I wouldn't have them any other way. :-D

                                  I'm sure my ex-wife will crawl around in sewers for you (she's used to it, I'm sure). The only problem with that is that has no hope in hell of fitting in a 6-inch pipe (or even a 66-inch pipe). She lives in a trailer in Oklahoma, and I'm sure you can get here pretty cheap. All of her other husbands have.

                                  I'm glad that you're not feeling bitter about her, John. :-D I'd send in my own ex, as she's rather slender (well, she was until her new hubby - poor kid - got her knocked up), but she was so full of it I fear that it would only make matters worse. I am so glad she's in Texas...

                                        Lego always has, but I fear they may not be up to this challenge.

                                        Will Rogers never met me.

                                          Me, too, but I don't think the boss will spring for the machine tools I'll need to make the housing and gearsets for the drive.
