- Thank you very much, Lee. That gives me some things to think about. I've accumulated four of these rigs and have finally decided to spiff them up. So far I've removed three of the PTO's and have foun

- Got 'er. Now on to the set-screws. The missing audio was primarily due to one of the little coil leads on the speaker being broken. Apparently it was weak and the loud calibrator vibrations finished
