John:
What you are telling me is that Kraft thought electric retracts were a good idea 25 years ago. I do not know much about Kraft equipment but from what I have heard from the long time fliers that I have talked to, it was the equipment to own.
Just to satisfy my curiosity, could you take some pictures of your retracts and post them here? Could you also include a little information like weight and how they operate?

Thank you for your reply.
Paul
