It is a shame they discontinued the Microboost, but alas.

I can bring my own sun glasses and sum protection and if required and a spare 13 amp fuse.

Rix themselves discontinued it, if you had a website you may be able to sell some. Problem here is they were prohibitively expensive which lead many of us to adapt Invacare Homefills which did basically the same job with a bit of adjustments

If I did that clients would get a little cross. I'm an engineer an OEM I build for other folk. or is that build other folks stuff. And If I had a web site then they would all know all the other folk I work for and probably cause a bit of a stink about it they are a needy bunch.

And when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
I don't have much diplomatic skill but I know how to keep it confidential.

Your forgetting even the suggestion of having a website would put most of them into a panic call a board meeting to discus strategy and be left searching for a signed original of the NDA documents. Just think of this industries OEM's as the plan B nuclear option. The last thing you need is them doing is selling stuff on a web site.

As for prohibitively expensive that's a relative term but non of us work for a bowl of rice anymore.
Besides I thought it's all about supply chains and import tariffs today. Tomorrow is another day and then you may well have your website.
