Thanks for looking guys.  The Bama site schematic is what I have and it
doesn't detail the 180 sec timer circuit and Omega wants us to send it
in for repair.  I guess I'll try reverse engineering a diagram of it and
then troubleshoot the thing.  I hate "shotgunning" parts in something
that needs a small .25 watt resistor.  It is so easy to burn a circuit
board or destroy a good part and still not fix the trouble.  I have a
feeling there were several version of this thing.  

Thanks again

John, WA5BXO
