    Ok, ok. I was not being critical. You have done great work on this set. Displayed more then casual acquaintance to electrical theory and hands on ability. I just tend to perhaps have read more into what you wrote in massage #30. When a problem runs on this long, I often go back to the start to...

    The damage to the wire in the last picture looks more like overheating then chafed wiring. You wrote about looking into K1 in post 30 and 31. Thought you had done that before. Don't be suprised if you find moisture in it. But don't think that's the problem. I "think" but can't remember, that...

One of my all time best jobs was a Mega million buck Pre-Fab, Pre-Stressed Concrete plant. In the plant, we used breakers for some simple stuff, but for heavy duty machines and plugs, only...

    A few weeks ago, I was helping my son fix up an old house he bought. The place was so old, that there was not even ground in the building. Typical 50's installation.

    I should not have written "I". Its a "WE" project. Chris Medico is also involved in this project. Its just a very big PITA. Every once in a while I ask a member to check something on a gen set, as I do not have one to look at. So don't be surprised If I ask you!

    I sent you the listing, for when you get the new switch. Never, ever, just mark the wires and disconnect them. If someone else hooked up something wrong, you just repeated his mistake.

    Should have looked like this. For some reason I can not get it to look like it should.

    Saw several S8's in the big auction site one for 85 smackers. Old style, but still, whats a can of deox cost times how many you have used and figure out how many hours invested in the old switch?
