dean Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 I've not been able to find any back that looks like this. Hopefully someone's run across it before and can tell me something about it. Thanks! Quote

Certainly explains why I haven't been able to find anything on this. Thanks for all the help! Quote
