[SEL] Baker Monitor update and Model T buzz coil question

[Arnie Fero]

Hi Devin,

It's a good thing that you read the list on a regular basis.  You'll learn
a lot...  Occasionally even stuff about engines.  8-))

Two things to remember on the advice I gave your dad.  When you go out to
look for that hornet's nest to poke with the sharp stick; make sure that
your dad (or mom) is with you.  And when you and your dad are doing the
Devin-jump testing of the buzz coil, make sure that you are touching your
dad (or mom) during the tests.  That part is VERY important!!  8-))

See ya at Portland!!  Arnie
