A1 Topless bunny update and problems

[mpeters6@rochester.rr.com (Marc Peterson)]

Hey, those little two prong plugs for the CSV, the Thermotime switch, the
CPR, and others are really cheap.  I got a new one for my Thermotime Switch
from the Potterpeople for a *very* reasonable price.  Even included two new
crimp on connectors.  As a plus has a spring loaded bar that hooks on
securely to the connector a la A3's.

Spend the small amount of my and do it up right.
