Will, Search the BB, or maybe past Digests. Somebody went through the ARC panel and found that a beefier $2 Radio Shack transistor is all it takes to make the ARC panel work as it's supposed to. I know Kevin Redden has retrofitted a couple of them with good results, maybe he can chime in here as well. bs
