Joe and Dale,

       Correct numbers are D580 = and D581........Electrically the same.......D581 is = slightly

smaller and has plug and elect. connector opposite = ends.......D580 has both plug and

elect. connector on same end.........Bob White is trying to = source connectors for the

 D581.......He has connectors for D580 = now........
