Thanks but already did all that, talked to tech line again today, no help, shipping it to TSM, we'll see if they get it fixed. ******************************************************************************************************************* Since 1972 Jim Myers Telrad Electronics Fort Wayne, Indiana Lakeside TV wrote: > Jim, the last one I worked on wouldn't start.
