187 clicks of the dimmer switch



Mickey,
I feel your pain.  Contact me off list and I can help.  Years ago, before
there was an IML, well there was a Dick Benjamin who had worked a large part
of his career in electronics but segued into old car restoration-segue being
a good thing cause its French ya know.  Anyway, truth be know he had
designed such a device and intended to patent it but I was, well you know
desperate, having an economically insatiable spousal unit,  and 4 offspring
units, no Imperial in sight, no discretionary Imperial buying income and
well, I borrowed it and distracted Uncle Dick-as those of us who have known
him for eons affectionately refer to him.  Anyway I distracted him by giving
him an old funky Packard to restore-his first of many I might add.  Anyway,
I well kinda "borrowed the device and got a patent so to speak".  His Uncle
Bob helped me "develop" it (a color change and shape change).  We then made
the big bucks and were able to generously donate a completely restored 1955
Packard Clipper to Dick and a Studebaker Hawk for his wife (she still bakes
me a cake on my birthday). Since his uncle Bob did the delivery (Dick
seeemed kinda cool towards me in those days long gone) well now Dick
proclaims any eureka, any easy repair, any neat gift as "THEN BOB'S YOU'RE
UNCLE!  Sadly though, he and his neighbors won't join me for golf in my
funky Imperial.
Contact me off list, I have 273 cases of em, Uncle Bob is in South America,
and i am still poor!  Do you want the whole lot?
