In that case, see if you can run thru my tests again and make better sense
of them. If you like, feel free to mail the TPS to me in about a week and I
can check it out. If it's bad, I have NOS and good used ones, but it's best
to make sure yours is bad first, because new ones of that generation are
expensive.

Will do. I was afraid you were going these are expensive.  Maybe I just done
something wrong. I don't suppose you do Skype or face time? I'm more of a
visual audio learner than with reading as you can tell with my grammar,
spelling and typos.  That's why I teach auto mechanics and not English.
