Thanks, Michael, your pictures make it very clear that
this will be pretty easy once I get the system out where
I can work on it.

Unfortunately, while I did pick up a CR2032 over the
weekend, "Honey-do" projects kept me from doing
more with the PWS.

Thanks also to Brian and Paul Sture for your
encouragement.  It's mostly that I wanted to have
an idea of the scale of the job before I started,
and any needed parts, precisely because I knew
I'd be under tie constraints. :-)

   Thanks, Ken
