Yep, a helpful bunch, all. A phone call from Sam Mac, told me what to look for, what to expect on my 2182. He was pretty much
spot on.
Had a question about a manual, got a file from JMech.
Got a part from one of the sponsors, Mark Hellrung, and had a question, comment about it. Two days later a new part shows up. Not that there was anything seriously wrong with the original part.
And I am sure there are others who have helped me. I see the knowledge being spread every day.
