Terry,


I think I wasnt clear in my last post. The circuit works fine, excepting a 
small range, without the power resistors. With the resistors, nothing. So
can I 
scrape som insulation off the resistors and use them as variable resistors to 
try to fine tune, or will I ruin the resistors. They were spendy so I don't 
want to wreck em for no reason....

TIA, good to have the list back!!
