(ET) My 'new' E12S

["e s" <stupidemail5 lycos com>]

Well, finally got an Elec-trak after some months of looking. Got it home  
over the weekend and promptly fried the fwd/rev relay.  Ahh well, Harold 
is sending a new one. 

The steering has enough play between the pinion and sector gear that it 
can skip if you try to turn it while not rolling. I think I can adjust the 
column a little to tighten it up, and perhaps ad a washer behind the 
sector gear, but are  there any other tricks? i think there must be wear 
in the casting at the base of the steering column that allows this. 


Otherwise, once it gets brakes[also on the way] it should be fine.
