boxes, which are a drop-in replacement if you trim the top lip off the Kadee box. I used some conventional 58s with the spring plate, and I used the old style box with the "ears". Strangely enough

My roofwalk fell off just taking it out of the box. I just re-attached it with Cyanopoxy. Probably not the best but I got lucky. It's just as well that it falls off, since the supports on the

Pay no attention, a long day and a typo. My apologies. Don Burn

Henry, Do you still have the code in there set to break on startup? The debug flag you fiddled with stops the program from being a service, so it never indicates it is done with

Careful, Bill, you'll scare her away :) Welcome back Ashley. Dennis

Thank you Richard. I thought this might be another case of basic black and simplified lettering for the late 1950s. I'll see whether Jerry Glow is interested in making a "mini decal kit" to
