I could also live with mine donating parts to get another going, if
needed, as I have since bought another that actually works!

I'll talk to Paul and see how much work he wants. He does this sort
of thing for fun but it pretty serious about it. Wish I could
introduce you guys directly to Paul. He's a cool guy. Worked on the
second stage engine of the Saturn V. Was in the blockhouse for the
first launch. Actually, Paul is the guy who started taking me up in
his Cessna 140 occasionally and introduced me to the glider club back
when I was an aimless college nit wit. He has the "manual" for the
Saturn V rocket. It's about 5 inches thick with wiring diagrams that
fold out 5 pages long. COOL.
