Hi JrBlade,

You are exactly what this hobby needs! I haven't done a calculation regarding inductance, charge current etc. since Physics II in college, some 48 years ago. Brain turned to mush since then not from drugs or alcohol but just from 48 years of living. At least I learned how to express a complex equation just by typing, (or did i forget that I did so merely 2 years ago when I volunteered to support my company's Lab informatics product when my right hand went up before my left hand could pull it down and smack it). Definite hair on fire from brain meltdown.

My education was in Life Sciences and Clinical Laboratory Technology (BS, 1978) but I taught myself mechanics, electricity, electronics, plumbing and refrigeration from books and discarded items. Got pretty good at it, then morphed the hobby and education together for a 44 year career as a Field Engineer in the bio-medical and clinical laboratory field.

What us old heads and new engineers like you have in common is the ends that we will go to preserve these pieces of history and make them work again. BTW, excellent workmanship!
