(ET) Home Power

[Larry Chace <RLC1 etnainstruments com>]

David Roden mentioned "Home Power" magazine.  While not perfect, it 
was a good source for info and even had articles about Elec-Traks 
from time to time.  That magazine ceased publication suddenly in the 
Fall of 2018, after 188 issues.

Has anyone found a good replacement for that magazine?

To keep to Elec-Trak topics, my I-5 suddenly refused to go into 
Cruise Control mode.  After checking wiring and the CC switch, I 
finally looked at the CC relay.  Right next to it was a small nut 
(organic, not hardware), probably left courtesy of a mouse.  It 
prevented the relay's movable contact from moving.  Sometimes the 
solution is simple!  This is another reason to use enclosed relays 
rather than the open "Champion" relays.  (And, yes, a mouse had taken 
up residence amongst the wires and relays - no chew marks,  though.)
