Gary and Arran,

Thanks a lot for the help and the ideas.  May look at doing that 84 substitution.  Looks like the Findatube is indeed the place to go, had not realized that he was out there, quite a treasure trove of tubes. 

Still mining through this thing to make sure I don't hit any other roadblocks as the mud daubers had quite the nest going in there.  We shall see if we can get this thing resurrected.

I deeply appreciate the assistance!
Richard
