No reason, my sweet hiney. Some poor engineer that was overworked and
underfunded tried to make six components do four components work. Nothing bizarre about it at all. Jim "Jay Honeck" shared these priceless pearls of wisdom: - Get in there and do that kind of thing yourself and pay somebody to check -it - and sign it off ! - -Um, well, it took quite a while to determine that it was a problem with the -dimmer itself. - -The circuitry for this thing is just totally bizarre. Rather than just -being a simple rheostat, it's hooked into some transistors, and capacitors, -and resistors -- all for no apparent reason.
