These have no short circuit armature that can be turned into position, they are on till well past the rapture. :) Thanks Todd. But it gives me an idea, a need to design and make such a switch if it can be done. I'll investigate that. A project to keep me out of the bars? Probably. ;-) If it can be done, Jim has about 20 more of them looking for a job. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
