Thank you all,
It seems that when ever I have a question it is answered 
very quickly! Ted that is the page that I first refered to 
for information on the TSG thank you for reaffirming 
that information. The next step will be to replace the
cap and I should be all set! Once I am done with this
I should be able to use the same equipment in a 
nice triggered gap, If I could olny find that cheap 
NST....

Thanks again
Darin
