[Bob Hardie- W5UQ]

Good info here.  Thanks Jeff. 
ALSO... thanks to all of you who responded directly and via the list 
server.  I've tried to answer all, but may have missed one or two...  
Most who responded wanted to tell me about it...and/or offer the pots 
with them...  I just needed the locking part. 

I found the locking mechanisms and have them on the way.  Again, you 
guys are great.  Thanks, Bob  see W5UQ..com
