[GreenKeys] WHY ME??!! :-((

[Derek Cohn/WB0TUA]

Tom,

I *believe* I have a replacement.  Let me take a photo of it and send it to 
you so you can decide for yourself if it's the same.  It has a power cord 
attached to it.  Is it ok to *quickly* plug it in to see if it starts up or 
could I damage it with no load on the spindle?

73,
