Anders,
Though there is only a very small chance, if there is anything KIM related
(there was a KIM to PET interface), I'd be very happy to pay for the
shipping to the US (and of course, compared to the full size CBM machines,
the KIM is quite small) as well as a reasonable price.
Thank you!
best,
Jack
