Thanks Jon,
In other words, use only the boost cylinders from the existing
actuators I suppose. Well, on with the servo motor project then.
Should have it here tomorrow. Guy gave it to me to make room in his
shop. I gave him a dollar for it to seal the deal. It's an 83-1000MC
and includes the air dryer, a pair of servos and gear reducers plus
whatever tooling he has for it. I probably got a good deal. He says
he had to pay $600 for the tap holder. So I can probably afford to
buy the ballscrews, another servo and the controls.
