Hey Michael, How's Germany? Being from Washington State I don't get a  chance 
to say hello from other countries. The repair man said that all channels  
work but the push buttons are worn and old. He said he can put a switch in their  
place but!  I GUESS THE PROBLEM IS THE BUTTONS ARE WORN SO THAT IS HOW IT  
STANDS. I wonder if anyone has buttons for sale or do they still exists .I  
brought it home and will use it as is and it works but some buttons need  
replacing, just oh well.

Thanks - one day I'll look into that stupid HH-module... 4556 and 4013 are 
almost as common as toilet paper! ;)

electronically yours, jesper
