All I did was send the info,....I never even tried to read it. I hope it is,.... what it says it is. Just do the resistor gigo,....and forget about the diaoides. ;-) LLW LeRoy Westlund Westlund TV & Electronics 97 North Main "Where there's a will,... Centerfield, UT 84622-0087 There's always a way."
