Re: Playing with an idea

If you're thinking about building a 440 (or 383), you might try
looking on the Internet for Don Dulmage's "Old Reliable" book.  I'm
not sure if he's selling it anywhere, but if you can find a copy
there's a lot of good, common sense info.

I figure I can take my time, get someone who knows more and learn as I put it together, and when I finally get it together and good I'll put it in and do the old one by myself. I thought it was a good idea..
