[Boatanchors] The Problem With Boat Anchors

Lifting is one of my big problems.  I have had both hips and one knee 
replaced so I have to lift with my back.  That limits what I can pick up 
off of the floor.  The power supply is on a furniture mover cart so I 
can roll it around.  I don't think this job will require getting into 
the PS anyway.-  I scrounged up a cart for the test instruments I think 
I will need so I should be set.  By uncabling everything, I think I can 
do the work on the transmitter right on the operating desk.  I would 
have to take all the cables apart anyway.

The zero function started working again so hopefully it will just be a 
matter of switch and potentiometer cleaning with no parts replacement.
