Great to hear you are back on it. I will get a picture to you on how I changed mine. I think that I have all of the wiring issues settled. I am going today to pick up the material we discussed over the weekend. I will make a list after I get it home of what is really there. However I will copy you on the original email with a partial list.
You had also mentioned that you may consider putting a motor on to lift the top. Any idea on what it would take? I have several different types and sizes available from dad's stuff if you want to experiment
