Thanks Buce! This seems like a fun hobby to get into. I just bought a 42-pt7 for 13 bucks on Ebay. I plan to do a restoration job on it. I have cleaned it all up so it's nice and perty, and will handle the the tech, stuff this week. I downloaded schematics last night. I need to get some good books about basic electronics, followed up by a zillion questions that I am sure I will post here.
