I would suggest a re-read.

I did *NOT* say it *WAS* a KISS refurb.

I simply said it sounds like some of what they have done, yet *I* said 
someone seems to have done this earlier.

The entire KISS refurbish of the AN/URM-25s went far beyond simple 
piddling mods.

The entire power input was altered to remove the antiquated power 
coils/capacitor input, and replaced it with an IERC input socket and filter.

There were numerous *other* parts removal and changes.  This included 
rewiring the dial lamps and replacement with ones that are common place now.

Regards,
Bob - N0DGN
