Allan -

Please send me the .gif file.

Also, kudos to Astron for jumping in and being helpful.

I once intended to work on a Pyramid power supply, and they were the most
unhelpful company I have had the displeasure to reach out to.  They would
not even provide or point me to a schematic.

I guess they thought they would be compromising their intellectual property,
risk being party to an injury lawsuit, or lose the sale of a replacement
unit.

I told them where they could put their schematic.

Needless to say, I will NEVER buy anything from Pyramid, nor reccommend
their products to anyone.

After mulling the replies received, I decided it best to
ask Astron about it. They replied with a sketch and
corresponding directions. I will forward that .gif file for those
interested.
