Copy, thanks.  The only thing I miss about living near Sumas, WA was being able to walk my stuff back and forth over the border.  Made times like this a lot easier  :-)

Okay, just to let anyone interested know, the controller had a bad resistor.  I was told that this apparently can occur from time to time.  Controller has been repaired.  Thanks to everyone who helped with the trouble shooting...  I also have a refurbished unit on the way for backup...

Hi Al,

Thanks a lot for the update.  Too bad that you needed to return the Classic,  but glad that it is fixed,   and that you now have a backup Classic.  I also have a Refurb Cl 150,  that has been in service for at least 18 months,  and is doing fine.

Thanks,  Have Fun,   Vic

Thanks Vic.  Now that I have a backup / to be shared with the neighbour, the Classics will probably work for ever.  But that is fine!  Haha...
