[QuadList] Got my VR 1200's

[C. Park Seward]

Oh... And the female guide vacume pressure  should be 40.

Test the air and adjust the sensors to light the front panel lights if  
the pressure isn't correct.

You may have a problem finding the correct plug for the VTR. They  
don't make it anymore. I had to change the panel mount Hubbel.

I bet you will find the PS with some sort of problems. Remember the  
voltage has to be very close to 12V and the + and - need to be very  
close to the exact opposite. Let them run for awhile to see if they  
last.

Guy would recommend bringing the voltage up slowly but I like to hit  
it full. I bet I can get more smoke that way! Also I get to identify  
problems more quickly.

You will need a set of extenders.

Best,
Park
