Niner it's exactly like with alternators. When I started digging when MoPar brought the 1st alternator (roundback) in 1961 no one understood them. Not even Chrysler with their insane asylum grade ignition switch circuit mechanical voltage regulator. When I was found absent in English literature class the "Boy's Dean" found me surrounded by technical manuals in the school library. His comment? "Carry on". "Othelia" be damned. The teacher gave me an A which at the time I was ignorant of had I gotten a C I would have been disqualified for a scholorship. In other things I am pretty naive. The oncologist presented a question to me in 1991 that 24-years later leaves my face red: Your occupation with electromagnetics may have been a contributing cause of your leukemia (AML). My obsession almost destroyed me physically and absolutely destroyed me financially. Now how unsmart is that?
I wear suspenders, the kitchen table is my workshop, I spend at least twenty hours a week reading White Papers of subjects of interest and when I got the Lifeline I grinned like a cat with canary feathers all over it's face. A toy. When the Walmart battery failed I sawed off the top and dissected it and loved every moment.
So this is an explanation of how I tick. I never claimed to be the average Joe. I cannot work on a project as a team member, and I have little patience with folks who have little or no.experience with a subject yet insist on pontification.
So forgive my faults and excesses I am only human.
And it looks like a deal has been struck on those power supplies!
