II>ANYway, what do you know about the charger?  I bought a new 24 V 2 Amp
II>xfmr for it and put it in, (after checking every diode in the thing -
II>they all check good!), put in a new 1/2 A SB fuse, plugged it in and

II>(including the bottom, which serves as a heat sink), it was hard to

Ivy, if the problems become insurmountable for you, I'll take them off
