      At least no previous owners have butchered the wiring ! I ordered a   
   pair of cheap analog VOM's last night , all my cheap digital units have   
   died . Sure wish we still had a Radio Shack ! The fuse connections need   
   cleaning up but that's just one more little thing . I'm hoping that the   
   cooling system was drained - they recommend straight water because it's   
   a  thermal siphon , no pump - and isn't full of holes . A surprising   
   amount of parts are still available but I don't really want to buy a 250   
   dollar radiator !
