I'll try to remember to look at mine and let you know more about it.

Thanks a bunch Scott. Needless to say, I'm not going to replace my
trimmers any time soon - not without practicing with the old
soldering iron first - for about 2 weeks straight! I used to be
pretty darn good with the iron but that was in the early 80s and
have since concentrated on making money to pay folks to do that!

Cheers!
