Thank you! A little confusion (mine) goes a long way. I looked in one of my books and I do have a 4-speed. Back to the garage as soon as it lights up. Bill in

Bill,
It's been a long time, but there is no way the 190Db has three on the tree. What you have is four on the tree + reverse. First is up toward you, second down, third up and away and fourth down and away.
Hope this helps.
