Don, I noticed that you buy alot of your parts from global which is one of the most exspencive places in canada to buy parts. I will not buy from them unless it is the last resort. I always use the generic parts from http://www.mainelectronics.com/bulksemi.htm and never had a problem on them and they are cheaper by far. Harry Fogarty Prince Rupert Repairs Prince Rupert B.C.
