Enlarged Schematics

I went and had larger schematics made. Makes it a lot easier to follow circuits. Cost for 9 drawings was about $14.

Mine are actually bigger. That ruler was 15". I forget what size but I think a standard blue print type. Anyway, I don't need them now, but good to have.

Working on my Jeep CJ5 now!!!!

Yup, getting old is no fun, but not bad compared to the alternatives.

Keep all your old pairs of glasses. I dug up a pair of safety glasses from a job 20 years ago, and now they work fine for close up work.

Ok, did not know that. I just put the diagrams on a CD and took them over to our local print shop. I could have even had bigger ones made! Mine actually might be your size. Possibly standard blue print size. I just got tired of enlarging the .pdf image on the computer.

It was Hogan's Heroes not Mash and actually that was Sergeant Schultz's line...
