Well, I am expecting it to be in need of some TLC.  And, trust me, I am not
looking down at the mouth of any four legged animals.  <snicker>    Just
trolling for info....

That's a scream...  I'll be sure to have a big can of Raid or something
when I open it for the first time.  :)

Actually, I did find the owners manual in a PDF file at the Carvin site. 
Somehow I overlooked it the first time around.  However, schematics or any
service information would be super to have.  If you or your friend have a
service manual you would like to sell, I would appreciate having it.  I
will check with Carvin and see it they sell it.  If it is no longer sold,
maybe I could get some copies from you or your friend if you don't want to
part with it.  Considering the price I am paying, I am expecting some
service needs.  :)

Thanks for the responses (and humor).  Since this is OT, I will take
anything else off list.  As usual, this list is a great place for info.
