Doug,
I am gladly acknowledge my mistake regarding the interest in the TDC locating tool. It was not my invention so I get no credit for that. Maybe a little for using it in this application. The real issue here, as Tracy stated, is to be absolutely sure of the basics before spending a lot of time and frustration looking into less likely sources of trouble that are difficult to check. This is just a simple tool to help in that regard.

Steve: Please don't think your cool invention wasn't appreciated by those of us at Paduca... I for one grabbed one and plan on using it to find TDC prior to re-installing my CAS...
