Thanks Patrick,

But John Graves is sending me one.  I was able to find it in the catalogs
with some helpful advice from the list to look in the electrical section.
I was looking in the tranny section.  My blunder there.  Anyway, John is
sending me a new one for a bit cheaper than the catalogs.  Thanks again to
all who responded.
