Yes, I would like them spec. too if you have it handy. Thanx!
It's malfunctioned (shorted) and it's days are through.

My dad is going to try and replace it, hopefully it will work right for this application. We'll see. just seems kind of silly to throw it away and get a new one when it might be fixable.
