Opened the door to get my truck out to go to work, and smoke rolled out. My compressor motor had locked up, and the breaker did not trip. Luckily, the electrical panel is right inside the door. No damage done to the building or contents, but I had one hell of a scare. The good thing that came out of it, was that my wife let me buy a brand new compressor. -- Russ Wolfe '71 FB AT '66 FB MT '64 T34 (not running) '65 T1 (not running) '05 KIA Sorento SUV russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
