Chuckle, and precisely why theres a couple dial encoders on the new apron of the sheldon. I'd put some on The Little Monster too but where? No room on that teeny apron, and I'm out of i/o until I fit another box and breakout board anyway. Just one of several jobs I need to do in the shop building, first being to remove the remains of a burned up drive belt in my 14" bandsaw. Likely an all day job, the plastic of the belt is well welded into the pulley grooves, both on the motor and drive hub. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
