    Pay the tax and move on.
    Glad you're doing better.

    I talked to Magma about the larger pot.
    They said the frame on the Mark 5 is smaller so I would have to beef it up for a larger pot.

    Pewter is your friend.
    I find it at thrift stores.
    Goodwill seems to be catching on that it is worth more than aluminum.
    Go to the small thrifts.

    I went on a spree buying "pewter" on eBay.
    At least 50% of it was aluminum.
    That was after the sellers swore it had a stamp saying pewter on the bottom.
    Now I have them send me a photo.

    The part I am concerned about is that there are 3 wires just hanging out near the harness where the timer plugs in.
