[AJD] Allen condensor and coil tester

[Bill Brueck]

Greg, if you would be comfortable loaning me these manuals I'll scan them 
and publish on a website for folks to reference indefinitely and get the 
originals right back to you.  I checked the Kalamazoo area for references to 
the Allen company, they are apparently no more, so I expect the copyright 
wouldn't be an issue any more.

No hurry, up to ass in 'gators now, anyway.  Son getting married next 
weekend, folks visiting our house are the same people who are here once a 
year at least anyway, but you wouldn't believe the overhaul we're going 
through.  I thought it was good enough to throw the cat out and pick the 
underwear up off the couch, Linda had other notions.  I bought the tester a 
while back and tried to use it last night when I was getting the Lawn Boy 
going for trim work.  Got it going, anyway, or at least I hope it'll keep 
running.  It stopped raining 2 hours ago, I'll be heading outside to mow 
pretty soon and find out.
