Ed,

Thanks for the Archives pointer.
Glad to hear the problem isn't unique to my van. I'd pay good money to see
a John Bange prototype ISC.
I'm planning to inspect mine tomorrow. I'll let the list know if I find
anything worth mentioning.
Starting to feel like I'm headed in the right direction now. Thanks.

John Meeks
