It was a pilot light model, and - here, anyway - they won't replace pilot light ignitions, hafta upgrade to electronic ignition, not cheap! So it cost me a couple drops of solder and a penny or two of electricity...

That won't work. There are sound files attached to it. It is not just graphics. Actually without the sounds it isn't much. PM me an e-mail address and I will send it to you.

Beautiful Softy. It makes me yearn for Arizona again. They have some great sunrises and sunsets.
