REFLECTOR: automotive spark plug harness

[Douglas Holub]

Yes, the former.  Yes, indeed strange.  This particular ignition didn't work 
new out of the box.  I sent it in for a warranty repair, and Klaus fixed it. 
135 hours of operation later, it failed again, and this time it was out of 
warranty and he wasn't able to fix it.  He offered to buy the defective unit 
from me for $50, though, because he could re-use some of the parts.
