Thanks. I can tinker a little bit, but not much beyond that. And I do not have great soldering skills (or even the proper equipment). But I do have a friend that lives around the corner that loves this kind of stuff. He's offered to check out the various components.

Thanks. I'm going to have my electronics guru friend check it out.
