[SOC] Fw: Need help: Vibrator Checker

[Hank Kohl K8DD]

Not a long shot!  There is a serious problem out there with some of these 
older products.

Go to http://www.qsl.net/k8dd/mp3/ and download appliance recall.mp3 745K
It will explain what can happen!
This can be some serious stuff!
(put the headphones on before you play the mp3!)
