Robert:  al isn't on this list much anymore with other things going
on , but I have his cell phone number if you need it.  If you can get
to Cedar Falls /Waterloo, we'll both help!!!  I have floor jack and
tools and some space to work on it.  Al has a shop in downtown
Waterloo, if you need multi day storage.  He's a free lance
electrician by trade, but dabbles in many venues.
