David,
Good to hear from you.? I am also a dedicated MI-250 user. I got mine from the original owner back in 2005, and it has performed perfectly ever since. My Gemini I that just got fried was the one that came with the mount back in 2005, so I guess I can't complain about it finally shooting craps. Can't think of another electronic device I bought in 2005 that is still working!
Thanks for yur advise.
Ron
