Hello fellow Chandler parade participants
So I plugged in my lights and the inverter worked great, with the engine off.
When I started the engine, the inverter shut off with an overvoltage alarm. So
I checked with the meter and my gosh-darn regulator is not working. So my wife
called her Lotus buddy in Atlanta and he says:
disconnect the regulator, or the battery
clean the regulator points with fine emery
polish the points with a dollar bill
reconnect and test
I did all that and it worked for about 30 seconds and then shut off again. So
I did it all again, working especially briskly with the dollar bill, and it
seems to be OK now. Drove around the block with all the lights blazing and it
works great.
See all you ROC'ers and ZOC'ers tomorrow.

Subject: Chandler Parade Details - DEC 1st 4:00pm
Ok everyone here's the low-down on the Chandler Christmas Parade of lights:
Time: Meeting in downtown Chandler af 4:00-4:30 pm on Sat Dec 1st. This
will allow time to decorate the cars, and judging will take place before the
parade as well. The parade is scheduled to start at 6:30pm, but they will be
blocking off the roads around 5:00pm. GOOD idea to be there BEFORE 5:00 pm.
There may be a waiting around, so bring a patio chair and that thermos full of
hot coffee !! (Hey- you're used to this from the Pavilions!) There will be
concessions available around town and public "facilites" to make the wait
easier.
Where: Get yourself to Downtown Chandler. From either I-10 or 101 (Price)
You should take the Chandler Blvd exit. Head EAST until you get to Arizona
Ave. ( This is the same street as Country Club in Mesa) Go EAST on Chandler
Blvd past Arizona to DELAWARE. This is the small road just before the railroad
tracks. Turn right (SOUTH) on Delaware and go to CHICAGO. On CHICAGO you
should turn right (WEST) and there you will find the city barricades. Just
tell the nice folks from the city that you are with the Datsun club in the
parade and they will direct you to the proper spot.
Our group will be somewhere in the middle of the parade line-up. I can not
say exactly when we will be done, BUT we have reserved the club room at ROUND
TABLE PIZZA for 7:30 pm for afterwards. Round Table is at the NW corner of
Rural and Ray ( Next to the big Fry's Marketplace) From Downtown Chandler head
WEST to RURAL road. Turn right (NORTH) on rural and Ray is 1 mi North.This is
"BYOP" (buy your own pizza) We should be able to get group discounts, but as
yet, that is not confirmed.

lights... only $28.99 !!
