The tape head guides last a while.. 8 months to a year PROVIDED the tape head is setup perfectly.. The Selector tape is similar to a Tac20 one.. We do position/door zone/normal limit and ETSD/NTSD all off this unit.. Matt: we were humming along at around 8-10 weeks a car start to finish.... this was a MAJOR mod.. Those 626SE rope grippers were a pain in the ass to work with ( around 400lbs ) Lanterns and gongs at each floor sucked too...Fiber Optic comunication to main desk etc.... I love it when I hear you can do a mod in 4 weeks.. NOT this one =)

Believe it or not union/non union installation times are very similar in Toronto anyways.. TKE is installing GAL stuff (due to consultants specing it ) and our installation times are similar to most non union shops.. Union/Non union isn�t important to me..putting food on my plate is.. Matt: why so bitter? ?
