Ugh, look at that, I have to correct myself. See the capitalized letters
that I switched (disk and dish were switched on one sentence).
For what it's worth, Mo-Ma says that I need a 45 tooth something or another
and that I already have a 32 tooth that mates with the 45 tooth. She knows
she can get 41 tooth something or anothers. 32X45 = 1440, what I need.
32x41=1312, which would be about 8% slow. But, she can't be sure until she
opens it up - and she was in a rush to meet UPS. I'll have to talk to her
more later.
But, I just realized that doesn't make 100% sense. I think she said the 32
tooth came out of the 1040. That means that 1040 divided by 32 should give
what tooth thing a magig I have - but, that works out to 32.5. Don't know
how they get a half tooth in there.
