Thanks Joe,
      That's  a lot of help, but not much help, just
the same. This hospital is only paying me $3,500 to
renovate the action, shiny up the case, replace the
decal and turn the thing over for a CA'ng  from the
underside. I was in a  car wreck ( rear-ended by a
lawyer in front of a chiropractor's office, no kidding
) and need the $ to avoid starvation.           
     So..... PLEASE tell me what those tiny holes are
for, if you know.

    Peace!
