Hold yer horses there pardner.

There is one other difference between the two parts you overlooked.

While buying a copier for my home office a few years ago, I noticed that there were two models I was interested in. The one with 4 steps of zoom had a certain proce, and the one with fully adjustable zoom cost about $100 more. Being a smart engineer (or so I have diluted myself to believe), I bough the lower proced one, then cracked it open, and you know what I found, a hile in the plastice for another button to select adjustable zoom, and a place for the LED to stick through. $4 later, and there you go!.

Go ahead an create a design that will fill up the 2C20, then target it for the 2C15A and let us all know how it goes.

Won't fit, or will it??????
