I don't have a catalog. I just looked in the yellow pages of the
Tallahassee phone book and made some calls. The folks I called were
very helpful. The first person couldn't answer my questions but had
someone more knowledgeable call me back. I think it was about $460
for the MiniOx from them. There are two versions. I assume the
$1400 version is not the same one I see divers using, although I
don't think I was quoted that high a price even for the hospital
MiniOx. But the whole exercise turned out to be a waste of time.
If there is any industry with a more outrageous mark up than dive
shops it is the medical industry.
