I have a few friends recommend it...but I won't use it enough to justify buying. Sorry, I was just whining. Drawing by hand brings back a lot of really good memories...except that I can't find all of my drafting tools...Moving half of what you just drew 1/8" is a pain. Don: Prayers for you ...

Happy Easter all! Early service, and cooked most of the day. Watched part of the F-1 race. Off to dinner with friends, and some deciphering electrical switches for the crane. I think I've got it. 165C controllers running too high for me. Kurt

The single pole is the ground. The throw goes to each side of the switch...and the power is sent directly to the switch, by the large black wire with red tape. I installed the resistor on the ground side of the LED. Kurt

Morning! Happy Birthday Mrs. Sir James! Roy...Is that the same woman that didn't understand what the big lever on the side of the well pump was for??? Kurt

Chief: I'd like info on the LED's as well...I paid $.10 for the single color LED and the resistor was $.5, in batches of 10. The Red/Green LED was a lot more...$.35 each + $.05 for the resistor. I bet I can hot wire a couple of these and really get the lights in the geep to light, instead of...
