Hi Carroll,

  I have a copy of the Operation/Service Manual for the WH89 that I
can let you borrow. Unfortunately, since I'm getting ready to move to
Austin for a new job, it has been packed away in a box. It may be a
while before I'll be able to send it. We still have to sell our house
and buy one in Austin. I also have a TON of spare hardware, so once I
do get settled in Austin, and depending on the issue, I may have a
replacement part I could send you.

Mark
