Re: CENTROID Hickory Install Manual?

Any plan for Delta Asda3 On Hickory? we tested a 3 year old delta and it doesn't work. hoping to get our hands on an updated model. delta is hard to buy in the USA. if you have one send it to us and we will test and if it works create instructions and a schematics on how to configure it with hickory.
