Had more than one electrician working on it, then finally a guy with good common sense fixed it for me---he thought it was likely a convertor problem, so I have been watching it. He didn't speak much english, so I'm not sure we communicated accurately, but I believe he was somewhat stumped. He did fix it though!

Sorry to hear about your emergency and hope all is well. I can try to help by email but it is cumbersome and tedious. Do you have a voltmeter and know how to use it? Does this model have a breaker box for the a.c.? It could be that a breaker is not seated properly or the breaker is defective or the wire to the breaker is not tight under the screw of the breaker. I would also look that the associated white/ground/return wire is firmly connected within the breaker box. Look for any wire nuts that have come loose or vibrated and the wire broke.

Made the same mistake. I knew that Curtiss-Wright and Curtis Wright were not the same company, but my fingers put the "s-" in anyway. "McDonnell," too. Sorry, Al - - --------- Forwarded message ---------- In late 1946, Curtiss-Wright Aircraft Company and Wally Byam together started production of a new post-war travel trailer based on Wally's pre-war Airstream Clipper at the Van Nuys Airport (LA Metropolitan Airport). After some months they split into the Wallace Manufacturing and Curtiss-Wright Travel Trailers, but shared facilities until Wally struck out on his own. This is why early Airstreams and CW's look similar, varying in window styles mainly. In June 1949, three individuals, Kenny Neptune, Frank Pollito and "Pat" Patterson, who had met each other while working for McDonnel-Douglas, acquired the trailer business from Curtiss-Wright, who sold the line to concentrate on making aircraft engines, and they began producing trailers under the Silver Streak name in south El Monte California, which it continued into the 1970's as a separate company. - ------------------------------ End of Silver Streak Digest V1 #33 ********************************** - ----------------------------------------------------------------- When replying to a message, please delete all unnecessary Digest text To unsubscribe or change to an e-mail format, please go to http://www.tompatterson.com/Silverstreak/List/listoffice.html ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2004 15:47:38 -0600 From: "Ted Bosecker" <tipited@xxxxxxxxxx.net> Subject: Re: [SilverStreak] RE: Silver Streak Digest V1 #33 I there is a GFI Breaker/Outlet it could be wired to trip the outlets on that circut.
