> All,
> 
> PONE recently sponsored a TECH Day with Jon Haas of Pantera
> Electronics (www.pantera-electronics.com).  We had
> seven pantera's show up and 24 people including Bob Levitt
> of the GumBall Rally fame.
> 
> This was a solid event.  I personally purchased before
> hand both the ATO replacement fuse panel as well as the
> headlight controller before the tech session to install
> myself.  I was plagued with the headlights constantly
> retracting and shutting off at any given point.  I was
> not willing to drive the pantera after dark because they we
> non-dependable.
> 
> Jon's headlight controller panel completely restored my
> headlight function and has allowed me to drive the car with
> confidence anywhere any time.  As an added benefit the
> panel provides spot checks of each circuit and switch that
> makes the headlights function.  This cuts down on
> having to track down and test each component that makes the
> headlight function.  Further, the power is distributed
> to the motors that activate the raising the lowering of the
> light boxes independent of the headlights themselves. 
> The buckets pop up.....then the lights go on. 
> Sweet!  I have not have any issues since installing
> this component.

> The fuse box was next.  Mine looked pretty good after
> 37 years.  However the upgrade was more than
> overdue.  As I am sure you have all experienced...these
> cars have been thru a number of iterations and changes as
> they have passed from owner to owner.  Mine is no
> exception.  Jon was able to replace the fuse panel with
> his update ATO version and it possesses the flexibility to
> take into consideration all those changes passed on from
> owner to owner.  The new panel fits into the original
> position of the old fuse box using the sale fasteners. 
> Each lead on the panel is detailed (color coded) to the cars
> wiring harness.  If a fuse blows a red LED lights up
> behind the fuse to indicate which one was shorted. 
> This panel was well constructed, designed and laid out to
> fit as a direct replacement for our cars.
> 
> Based o n my experience, I would strongly suggest you visit
> Jon's web site or contact his directly and become better
> acquainted with the products he offers the Pantera
> Community.  I am a believer, you will be too.
