I was merely trying to be careful and polite in my assumptions, because I've never heard the term "foot feed" used by anyone other than an OLD, OLD-timer. DD

I haven't read all the posts but have a source for a product some may find usuful. I was paging through my new Surplus Center catalog and saw "magnetic engine block heaters". 200 watt for $43.45, 300 watt for $68.05. Both use 120 volt AC.
There's also some generic 12 and 24 volt electric wiper motors that may be applicable to someones project.

Lots of interesting stuff.

Well, I have had 62 BD's and never heard of a foot feed so somewhere between 62 and 66 seems to be the transition point.

Discovered another great benefit of finding my ground strap loose and tightening it. On my road trip last weekend the static in my sound system that I've been chasing and fighting without success for months was gone!
