Hi guys. I have enjoyed all e-mail from everyone and have learned a lot. I
have been passing everything to my good buddy who owns 3 Elec-tracs plus
lots of parts.He finally got a computer and is getting it going, I told him
how to get on your web site, so I want to get off mailing list until I 
start
working on the 2 that I bought, yes I was so impressed with them that I had
to own one. Thank you for all the friendly help. Will get back on e-mail
list when I start my project this spring.                              Gary
