    Sure, Gary! ... Anything that could somehow serve as a substitute or 
replacement for a TW1 or TW2 would be fine.

My fear is that nothing will exist to eventually replace our TW1's and/or 
TW2's when they break and cannot be repaired.

One would hope that as rigs get more advanced and sophisticated, they will 
have the capabilities of the TW1 or TW2 built right in, but a lot of folks 
will have older rigs, or will be running amplifiers where "on board" stuff 
wouldn't be helpful.
