I started this thread about 13 months ago, and here it is, a year later, and time to get ready for halloween. It's quite gratifying when you pull out a display piece that hasn't been on in a year, plug it in, and everything works just perfectly. All bulbs, all pumpkins, the wireless controller that's built into it, and even the clock radio I put outside -- still tuned to my station and bingo, right on. Didn't even have to adjust the volume level.
Here's hoping all the Christmas displays will work as well but so far, I'm a happy camper. :biggrin:
