    Every once in a while I stumble upon creative fixes in the course of resurrecting a machine. Here's a few to sort out on a Seawitch I'm working on at the moment.....she has a couple of personality disorders to overcome.

    Any old connector will do in a pinch

    I love this stuff because if it wasn't for this hobby, I'm sure my brain would have atrophied by now.

    Just can't say no to this lady though! She's a keeper.

    By the way, can anyone vouch for the accuracy of the 'Witch schematics on IPDB?

    Hey cottonm4, thanks for the schematics confirmation - I figured IPDB was good to go. And not worried about the harness or the splicing...just takes a bit of time to put back to rights is all. What I thought was funny was all the effort required for the hacks in the first place. Never know what you'll find when you look under the hood hey?

    Cheers
