would be cheaper than repair. It does me no good as is, so am willing to
entrust it to someone with some interest or experience with these things.

Sounds like you might be thinking the repair is moving back into my area of
experience. I will get brave tomorrow and crack the case.
Thanks -

Done several soft and a few hard resets [quite a pain]. No change in the
action.

Pretty much what I feared. I was shocked some years ago when the standard
repair on my Commodore 64 was to junk the insides and reuse the case. Repair

lose. But not today.

Don't know yet - have been reluctant to open it up, but see little choice as
it is not at all useful at the moment. I'll let you folks know what I find.

I was surprised and pleased that the Sam's Club Michelins I bought for EM
were finished with a torque wrench. Don't know about other places as I have
only bought there for years.

knew the government [as something of an insider] and the people [raised in a
rural area] and how they each would react. Impossible to get any report
that is not reflecting one side or the other.
Enough of rant.

'opportunity' of meeting one of the cops personally, but I am sure they have
a far better than normal ticket writing average. Probably have more fun
driving some of those cars, too.

the tree. Quite a thing to experience from the safety of my house, since it
went down on the yard side of the tree. Didn't do my camellias or fence
