[SYTY] Making more Ashtray Switchplates

[Bill & Marcie Calcagno <calcagno@erols.com>]

Howdy,
	Due to popular demand, I will make another run of Ashtray
Switchplates.  Look at
http://www.syclone.freeserve.co.uk/web/dashtray.jpg for a picture of the
prototype (the one in my Ty).
	There are two basic versions: one with 6 switches and one with the
Ultimate Chip's control box and 3 switches.  The prices are $150 for the
all-switches version and $200 for the version with the control box. 
Prices do not include return shipping (it will be about however much it
costs to ship everything to me).  Variations are available at extra cost
(email privately to discuss).
	This is not an outright purchase, this is a conversion performed on
your ashtray.  So, you will need to send me your ashtray and frame (the
whole thing will need to be removed from the dash -- it's easy, a couple
of screws and then pop out the light).  Also, if you want the control
box installed, you will need to send me your whole Ultimate Chip setup
(piggy-back board, wiring and control box).  Turn-around time will be
about two weeks.
	You will also need to trim a small lip of plastic from the bottom of
the radio bezel.  It's quick and easy, it won't be seen afterwards, and
instructions will be included.
	FYI, the conversion only works for the new style (with 4 LED digits)
control box, the old style box (with 16 LCD digits) is too big to fit. 
If you need to update your control box, Todd A will sell replacements. 
Last time I checked, the new boxes were about $100 each.
	Due to the size of wiring required to allow the ashtray to slide
easily, the switch circuits are limited to 1/2 amp.  If you need to
control larger currents (like fan motors or pumps), you will need to use
relays.  I can provide 30 amp relays with sockets and connectors for $8
each (my cost), if you want me to supply them.
	Please email me privately if interested.

		Thanks,
		Bill
