Dear Rick,

When reading your question, I thought it was referring to the "The Fabulous Ernie Martini", which sounded quite interesting, because Ernie seems to be more of a Cuba Libre drinker. However, maybe he does have THE KILLER martini recipe?

Good luck with the hoses quest.

Thanks for the "fabulous" part. I don't know, but I'll try to reach him to see if he knows.

Rick:

I spoke to Ray Torres. He says that there are 4 hoses -- two on each side -- that are discarded with his kit. Open the big doors, look inside, and you'll find on each side a 4-way fitting where two of the fittings have been capped off. That's where the hoses used to go. With a figure from the Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC)in your hand while looking up inside the doors you should be able to figure out the part number of the removed hoses. If you don't have an IPC, I can get the right figure out of mine and e-mail it to you, BUT I'm swamped right now and it might take me like a week.

Ray is willing to help further and has OK'd me giving you his cell phone, but it's hard to do this without the appropriate figure from the IPC. If you want to call him, send me an e-mail (look in my website listed at left for my address) and I'll send back his number.
