There will be no joy in Mudville tonight!...after finding the #1 fuse broken inside, I went to my nearest Radio Shack and got an exact replacement (4 pack)...the excitement was building, I hurried home and replaced the fuse...checked the connections and contact!
Followed by a loud electronic hummm, a pop and smoke...I left a voicemail with Steve but I believe the patient is in need of critical care.

Sad in Brookfield...
