(ET) Suggestions Wanted for Elec-Trak Web Site



I am a relatively new member of the Elec-Trak community.  I've recently
restored an E12M and am glad I did!  I used to run out of gas before I
finished the lawn.  Now I now run out of lawn before I run out of fun!
Besides that, I'm meeting lots of new people who simply can't contain
their curiosity.  All this in an environmentally friendly machine that's
about 30 years old.  It's amazing.

While there is valuable Elec-Trak information on the internet, it tends
to be scattered and limited in scope.  Wouldn't it be nice to find it
all in one place?  That's why I've decided to build a web site (shrine)
dedicated to the almighty Elec-Trak.  Here are my ideas so far...

History:  I have yet to see the official history of the Elec-Trak's
origin and development.  However, collectively we could surmise our own
unofficial history based on what we know is true.

Specs:  A model-by-model, part-by-part list of features, capabilities,
accessories, options and whatever other details we can gather, such as
MTBF, operating temperatures, etc.  I thought we could list things by
model, and break down subassemblies from there.  Any suggestions?

Troubleshooting Forum:  A place where anyone can ask a question and
everyone can give an answer.  Let's give our friend Bill at Technical
Service & Parts a break!  :)

Classifieds:  Obviously, a place to buy and sell Elec-Trak mowers,
parts, and accessories.

FAQ:  How many times have you been asked, "How long do the batteries
last?"  Enough said.

Photo Album:  A place for Elec-Trak enthusiasts to share glamour shots
and stories of their beloved mowers (or accessories, if that's what
blows your hair back).

Links: Links to other sites that may interest the typical Elec-Trakker.

I would love to hear any other suggestions on how to make the definitive
internet site for Elec-Trak information, so speak up!

To get things started, feel free to send me your Elec-Trak pictures
and/or stories.  My address is electron megsinet net.  If you have any
information for the other sections, it will be greatly appreciated and I
will happily give credit on the site to anyone who contributes.  I will
post the URL to this discussion list as soon as there is enough material
to make things interesting.

Let me know what you think!
