[TR] electronic ignition,

[Tim Gaines]

Actually I have opened the box and found lots of empty space, one 
capacitor, one ???? embedded in the case (maybe a transistor?), and 
one "secret" insert with a warning about berillium (sp?).  I don't 
have much idea what any of it does unless a transistor is switching 
voltage on and off in response to some input.
