All,
Sorry but that rather terse last post of mine was not actually meant for the
list - but I will add that this NST appears (make and appearance) to be the
same as I used once. The GFI unit on that was inside just under the lid,
rather than being buried in the resin, so easily removable.
Regards

There are a few that will sell them in the la/orange county area… just type
up a pair of release of liability forms.
That’s all I had to do.

anyone anymore. Something about liability. They just throw them away. I
have tried smaller neon stores, what is left of them, and the same thing.
No go.
