These turbo-kits were great indeed and I still have a few somewhere
perhaps lying under some dust in the attic. But I don't understand
your remark on Hegener & Glaser. The Lang-Schroder-Morsch policy you
describe is true but that did not mean they provided a turbo-kit
for me for each WCCM. I had no complaints.

I don't know why SSDF decided the remove the Turbo-Kits from the
list, I am sure Mr. Hegener liked it for the reason you describe
but that doesn't mean he was involved in that. Saying such a thing
without evidence would be slander.
