I am needing to buy a new control box for my 66. Before I go to the usual
suspects, who most likely don't have a clue about Keyser S=C3=B6ze, I thoug=
ht I
would ask
Does anyone have a good one in their spares bin that they would be willing
to part with?
If not, who sells the best quality replacement?
I know that quality was a declining concern in the days of Frank, so today
I'm certain it is even worse.
Thanks in advance.

Brad,

I have opened it up and I think with a little contact cleaning it will work f=
ine.  The box is kinda grotty and it's missing one screw on the wire connect=
ors, but I think it will work fine after a little cleaning.  Send me your ad=
dress as I think you have moved south after my last visit. =20

Last time I came to visit I got off the freeway near your place and there wa=
s a guy in a full cowboy outfit riding down the road on a horse.  Only it wa=
sn't a horse - he was riding a long horn steer with horns at least six feet a=
cross.  :-)  That evening we went to a Mexican restaurant in downtown Ft. Wo=
rth that you said had been there forever.  I don't remember the food, but I d=
o remember the margaritas.

Rick
