Hi George and Michael,

?

I have been out-of-pocket for a few days as we went to Colorado for our oldest granddaughter’s graduation from the Colorado School of Mines.

?

Michael, I found the color code for the transformers with the colored wires in one of the CD V-700 Manuals.? See the attached schematic.

?

I keep a pretty good lookout for any of the CD V-700s (except for the Antons) and have not found any at a decent price lately.? They seem to be going up in price like everything else.? Ever since Putin fired a few rounds near the Chernobyl? reactors the prices have been going up and the quantity of foreign stuff has increased tremendously.?

?

Last time I tried to buy one with a broken handle the price was the same as for one with a good handle and the guy wouldn’t budge.? I assume it eventually sold.

?

I don’t think that the broken handles are even much of a problem.? I think that one could drill a hole in both pieces and put some JB Weld along with a short piece of steel (a piece of a nail) and stick the two pieces together and maybe do it where the crack would barely show.? I never have tried it but it should work.? It would be worth a try if anyone ever has a broken handle.
