Hey Buzz and all:
I reread my post and I made a mistake (At least one<G>), the early M151
should have the single ear hood hold down, not the 2 ear one. (Single ear
sticks out straight to the side, and you would lift it with one finger, the
2 ear one is the more familiar type you would lift with finger on each side
of the plundger.
Hank the humble...
