Hi Randy,
You must have one from the original runs before I started making them I guess?
It’s possible something has failed. If you can’t get it working you can send it to me
if you want and I’ll fix it for you (whether it was one I built or not). Just take care of
postage.
Shoot me an email off-list for my address if you want to do that.
Thanks,
- Ed

I have the CocoSDC manual so wonderfully provided by members of this group (much appreciated!)
