   Does this gearbox have a history of failures?
   Has root cause been identified? If a chip
   detector has been deemed the most practical
   impending failure warning system, does the
   generation of metal in the oil flow
   pose a risk to the engine? Should the oil
   return line be filtered? If so, would it not
   be more practical to add a filter with a
   chip detector?

   Un impeachable logic: George Carlin asked, "If black boxes
   survive crashes, why don't they make the whole airplane
   out of that stuff?"

Subject: AeroElectric-List: Dimmers without switches

For reasons of size/spacing I ordered 4 potentiometers (5k ohms) with
longer shafts to replace the ones with my VAL CLA 500 dimmer unit.  But the
units I ordered do not have a SPST switch that turns them off when rotated
all the way counter clockwise.  (The other ones have the switch, but I need
the longer shaft).  If I use them, would I need a separate switch for the
dimmer unit, or could I leave the four potentiometers "on" but rotated
fully clockwise while keeping the light off.  Would that mean they would be
drawing a continuous load all the time?

How about
https://www.google.com/search?q=volume+control+shaft+extension&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS843US843&oq=volume+control+shaft+extension&aqs=chrome..69i57.11893j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
instead?
