If you have the electric skill, tighten all the neutrals and grounds
in your circuit panel. Sometimes that makes some really strange
effects. If you don't know what I'm talking about, print this off and
show it to your electrician.

Sorry for the individual posts saying "Thanks", I am new at this,

but I
do appreciate everyone's help! Thanks again to all.


If you really want to show your appreciation, tell us what the end
result
was. Where did you find the problem and how did you correct it? It
is rare
that we find out what happened after we give out all that helpful
advice.



Ok, Here it is. The problem was the ITE breaker arching at the breaker
attachment point on the buss bar. The more it arched, the looser it
got. The electrician "pinched" over the attachment point so it was
solid for now, while he said he'd look for a new breaker. I told my
freind to spend the $ to replace the service panel before he burned his
house down. Thanks again.
