Ok, I have twice opened the case, not detected anything visibly wrong such as loose cables, etc. , only opened to first level, not gone deeper than that, as soon as I can get the time (getting ready for a bunch of ski guests) I will dissasemble this boat anchor and give it a good going over, that is as much as I have the ability to do so. Thanks 95five-0 for hanging in there with me. I will be back as time permits.
