OK, after playing around with it tonight it looks like the problem is in
the on/off switch on the BA-23 box. If I push on the switch REALLY hard
then the system will stay on. If I let the pressure off the switch it
almost immediatly shuts off.

So, anyone know where I can get a replacement switch?

Does anyone know how the switch is wired so that I can jumper it should
a replacement not be available?
