Electronic dizzy connection
Posted: Tue Jun 29, 2021 10:20 am
Hi Claude,
Thanks for the feedback. Appreciated, and happy to hear that you have a resolution to the problem.
Yep, you never know if someone else will encounter the same problem and ideally the info should be on the forum where it can be searched and referenced. I'm sure that you have no objection to me posting our communications about the dizzy on the forum to that end.
Best regards,
Andy.

Who knows, sometime in the future some silly bugger might ask you the same question.
