[Spridgets] The transmission WORKS!

[dwoerpel at wi.net]

Way to go Mark!!  Well done.  Now do a smooth case will you...I
have 2 I need checked out  ;-)    

For the
list:  I've heard the smooth case can not be rebuilt without a lot of
$$$ and maching.
True or false??  If false, what's the
problem?
