RE: Good progress

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I went to Radio Shack and they had the pin connectors in stock. The main 
connector, on mine, was a series of individual wires that were 
terminated in a crimp on pin female connector. The panel had the male 
pins protruding. The individual wire connectors were inserted in a 
plastic "body" that held them in position to snap onto the panel back. I 
had to reuse that plastic "body" but used the new female connectors from 
Radio Shack. They are cheap and work very well. I think it's as good as 
original in function and really undistinguishable from stock. I have 
some pictures somewhere that maybe I can figure out how to send!? I used 
new spade connectors when it was required for the other items. Have fun 
:-)
