I wasnt criticizing you, I just was basically telling you it wasnt going
to
work, but you tried it anyways. they are completely different parts from
two
different series of chassies.
I am sorry it didnt work out for you. Keep looking around at salvation

thrift stores and you might find another one of those models. I see
panasonics
at the local Deseret Industries thrift stores all the time for $5.
