Jon, Terry,

Thanks for posting the item. I went ahead and bought one. Terry, thanks for 
providing the pdf file. Should I kill it, hopefully, it can be fixed. If 
these become common place in TC wonderland, we'll probably learn enough to 
keep them in good working condition, calibrated, and all that good stuff.

Take care,
Bart
