I have been checking the couple of prop shops near me but they have not had either of these to test run. If you know of a way to make this happen, I would really appreciate it. I am willing to put up a deposit an/or pay a rental fee. It has to be cheaper than buying another prop that doesn't turn out to meet my needs. Thanks!
