H.D Compact Shipment

(1 / 2)


When Ralph and the guys removed the front piece to clean the monitor on one of 
the H.D Compacts they are getting ready for shipment, they noticed that the 
monitor bracket was bent.

Nobody noticed it in the game. We were primarily concerned that it reach
Ireland in one piece.
 
The options were:

    1. Replace the monitor which would require mechanical time as well as
       electrical time to reverse the yoke wires and perform monitor setup.
       Erik isn't here today so I would have to do it. (It would take me longer
       to do it than it would take him, and apparently the truck is waiting.)

    2. Remove the monitor and ship it in a separate box.

    3. Not send the game today.

Ralph was pretty sure that the monitor bracket will hold together so we decided
to send the game as is.

The reason for this memo is so:

   1. You know what we did.

   2. You will alert Ireland that the monitor bracket is bent.

I assume we are sending it to Ireland so they can convert it to 220VAC 
operation.
