    We have ignition. Ran into a little snafu but all is good now. I needed to install a new main fuse holder as the one that was on the stove was broken and somebody had glued it. So I get everything all together I plugged the stove in and nothing.

    I start troubleshooting check the number 3 snap disk nothing, no power. Turns out the brand new Bussmann fuse holder had a dead spot of sorts in it. As soon as I twisted the end where the main power plugs in I had power. Not sure what's up with it but it's currently running.

    Thanks guys!

    Soooo, since this stove is a year newer ('05) than what I have I decided to keep this and sell the '04. The '05 has a baffle system that you can take out easily compared to the '04 and it also has a bit different airwash system that seems to keep the glass cleaner so we'll see. That family thinks I'm nuts but they're probably right.

    So now my next project is to get to '04 ready for sale which won't be too much.

    Reluctantly, I had one a couple weeks ago. Just felt bad for the old guy. Went to look at a stove for sale and wound up fixing it for him.
