A tip I picked up from this list was the addition of a Slow-Blow fuse
on the circuit powering the solenoid. I used an 8 amp fuse. The idea
is that this will allow the strong pull-in coil to operate momentarily
(as it should) but will blow if the internal switch controlling that
coil fails to cut out -- thus protecting the solenoid from damage.
Explicit details available to the curious. Possibly worth doing while
one is in there with the wiring.
