Joe and = Dale,

       Correct = numbers=20 are D580 and D581........Electrically the same.......D581 is=20 slightly

smaller and has plug and elect. connector = opposite=20 ends.......D580 has both plug and

elect. connector on same end.........Bob = White is=20 trying to source connectors for the

 D581.......He has connectors for D580=20 now........
