Everything is wrong until you prove it's right. Shotgunning parts at a problem is not a solution and usually creates more trouble by exponentially increasing the tendency to induce more errors. Back in the dark ages we called guys like that "wheelbarrow mechanics"- - - - -roll a wheelbarrow full of new parts up to the job and start swapping stuff until something fixed the problem. Of course, they never removed any of those parts- - - - -"It probably need it anyway!" Any new hire that tried that in my shop didn't last until lunch on his first day on the job. Jerry
