[pianotech] Fire hose failure!

[Terry Farrell]

I don't know what else to say - I clicked on the second link    http://www.amazonhose.com/amazon-hose-paper-catalog/ 
    and scrolled down to page 23 of the catalog (as viewed from the  
page numbers in the catalog) and the second entry on that page is 250  
psi mill hose, which is what I've been using.

What do you see on page 23? Empty? I don't know why it would be any  
different.
