Some questions to perhaps help get our winter brains thawed...
A friend who does some woodworking is in the process of getting storage shelves made to go where the 24" RCA used to bounce. A 23"x30" door is nearly complete that is planned to be hinged from the side. It will match our light maple finish.
Still working on ideas for replacing with flat screen LCD - probably 20". An ideal mounting system would be to find some parallelogram swing hinges like the system used on the coffee table in the camping world catalog whose top lifts up and swings over to brcome a greater height table. If the TV replacement door were attached with these type hinges (and not the planned side hinges), the new LCD TV could be mounted on the door and you would pull it out towards you and it swings down to sofa/dinette eye level just behind the two cab seats.
Q1: Does anyone know what to call these swing hinges, and where to get them?
Examples of a couple parallelogram swing hinges.

Next. I noticed lots of corrosion on the outside botton (and probably inside) of coach battery box as a result - I guess - of acid spilling due to over filling the battery several months back.
Q2: Anyone know the right treatment to stop this corrosion? Is it too late for baking soda alone?
Finally, the far right (passenger side) running light (one of 5 across front roofline)atop the fiberglass bullnose cabover is out. I am hoping I did not pull its wire loose when removing the TV...
Q3: If I am so lucky, what type of bulb do I need to get to replace this one - has anyone ever had to go up and replace one of these?
Any help would be great.
More later...
