No sense having batteries on board that might die when you are on a trip." Thanks, Al. BatteryMinder will wait. I'll buy new batteries. Now, golf batteries or Die-Hard or else...

You didn't let it die a quiet death, Joe. You posted your reply to the list three times. heh heh.

I would be interested to see if putting both the shaft and the die in the freezer overnight and repeating the attempt rapidly on removal might yield a better, if not 'good' result?

LTZ1000 and LTZ1000A both use the very same die (chip), but a different die attach epoxy. The A version therefore is thermally more isolated from the TO99 case (400°C/K) than the non-A version (80°C/K).

It takes a bit if experimentation to get the proper size tubing for each different size terminal, but when finished it makes a really good looking termination, adds additional strain relief support, and makes the terminal virtually waterproof.

Definitely a bird on the "one to watch for" list for many die-hards. Hopefully this will help anyone that is out looking...come on Tina Green, do your magic!!   http://naturescapeimages.wordpress.com/   Julian Hough www.naturescapeimages.wordpress.com
