[QuadList] Recortec timer issue

[Guy Spiller]

New wrinkle this evening.  I powered it up from cold, and timer worked 
fine...for about an hour, then froze.
So it looks to be a thermal issue.
Don, I would love a scan of that manual.  I don't know how many 
different models of this thing there were, but I've attached a picture 
of it....if it comes through.
thanks
Guy
