Very good, Colin.
I guess I thought the TMV7A drew more current than that.
When I can get someone sighted over here again, I may have them help me take
a quick look at the manual to see what they say.
Again, the specs were not included in the manual on icanworkthisthing.com.
That's not a criticism at all, since the specs are usually not an important
part of the manual for most situations.
