You're the one harping on us how we should revive the antique control
and live with it's tremendous limitations rather than upgrade it to a
modern control.


I'm not suggesting that method is for someone else. I simply stated
that I could make it work, and with what little use it would get, It
wouldn't make financial sense to tie up that much cash.


At any rate, in April or so I will be doing another cross country trip
up to the frozen northeast, and before I go I will search around to see
if there is a similarly good deal along the way I can pickup to retrofit
for my shop.
