Nice forking tire shop. Went back to look at the two cars again. There is something wrong. Sure enough. The 96 has 205/60/r15. the 95 has 205/65/r15. Well the 96 is supposed to have 215/65/r15 at 33 lbs. and the 95 is supposed to have 215/70/r15 at 35 lbs. I thought the deck hight was low on both cars. It gets better. I checked the tire pressure on the 96. Right front 18,left front 30,right rear 27,left rear31. That explains the left pull on the 96. what the hell is this industry coming to ? They replaced what was on the vehical and didn't even check to see if the car had the wrong tires. Do you take a safe off the same way as it went on ? NOT. If i pulled that stunt off in my early years i'd be out of a job faster than you could wipe out .2 on a tail light bulb change in a flat rate shop. I just tore a new pie hole in the tech of the front end shop yesterday and sending the car back. Now i have to appologize to this poor men. ( car is going back anyway ). Just when you thought it was safe to come out of the garage. Oh Yah. I finished the 30 day inspection on the old ladys 94 sunday and the right rear wheel cylinder is leaking. It wasn't leaking 30 days ago. When does it stop ? We've had 3 weeks of -30 with -42 wind chill. Maybe that has something to do with it. Yes the tires do freeze and form a flat spot over night. It goes away in about 1/2 mile and your down to about 6 miles to the gal. Normal winter up here. At $4.82 cents a gallon it gets a little pricey. You guys complain about $2.50 a gallon and it's Canadian gas! I feel so sorry for you it makes my laugh. Sorry guys. Not having a good day. I have 4 new tires that i can do nothing with. Oh well, i'll just put them in stock you never know.Have a good weekend.

Of course I have to agree with them Kalinin, you really blew this one. $60 wasn't nearly enough of a fee to deal with something like that. ;~)

Marcell, Thanks for the possible way to get some final value out of my old equipment built as part of a hobby and career. I was in the Naval Air, and Electricians Mate, was an AE2 P1 when I got off active duty and went into the reserves, I was a Chief Petty Office when I decided to get out of the reserves in 1968. I built Eico versions of all the instruments you mention, except the tube tester. That was on my list, I just didn't get to it before transistors took over. I went to college after leaving the Navy and have worked as an electrical engineer for many years - as could be concluded from the date I put on myself above, not to mention the date of the subject of this excursion away from the subject of this CAR forum thread. I have all the manuals to go with the test and signal generation equipment. As I mention the scope didn't work well, the problem there was a poor quality (multi-output) transformer, which had to supply the hight voltages associated with vacuum tubes. A few years back I purchased a dual trace scope from Radio Shack. It is a fully calibrated (time base and amplitude) with multiple trigger capabilities. It looks and functions like the old Tectronics (sp?) and HP scopes I used in my early days as an engineer. I think I paid about $300 for it, I couldn't pass up the buy. I rarely use it, but enjoy seeing it on my electronic/computer workbench anyway. This bench still has projects on it, that I never seem to find time to get around too... could be I'm spending too much time chatting on these forums.

This OEM system was installed in 2017. At the time I wanted the brand name but my pool guy was pretty insistent that he had to go through his area distributor, or some explanation to that effect, and that doing this might even save me money. (At the time I was newly widowed and probably still in shock. The pool and several other things that I wished to know nothing about had been happily taken up and were my late husband's domaine). Though I didn't feel at all comfortable with my decision I let the pool man do what he thought best. He had been servicing our pool for years though of course under my husband's watchful eye. Now I'm told the motor is shot and not fixable, and that this is more or less to be expected, since the motor does work outdoors in the awful Florida weather. (Of course it's outdoors!) I will consider his advice once again but prefer to not go the OEM distributor route. And only after educating myself as to any already existing alternatives. I saw that there are newer probably improved Barracuda models on the market and that there exists competition to Zodiac for this type of pool cleaner/sweep. Does anyone care to enlighten me further? My time at the computer comes in spurts since I just adopted a six month puppy who is wildly self-absorbed and even as I write this has decided to eat my MacBook Air's USB cable...or whatever it's called. All I know is it's not going to be another delicious wire on 6-month old Libby's menu du jour.
