Re: [Drakelist] DR-7 board re-install to TR-7

The easiest thing to do was check all 5 of the top of the board connectors again and I found that P3 was apparently still not making good contact with the pins. DeoxIT was applied and the digital display suddenly re-appeared. Low tech miracle.

[Drakelist] DR-7 board re-install to TR-7
Tried to post this yesterday but my attempt was bounced back as spam. Here's my question: After the digital frequency went blank on my TR-7 I pulled the DR-7 board and reseated all the connectors. The single coaxial cable that has to pulled to remove the boardis the center conductor supposed to be soldered in place on the small board it connects to? It did not feel soldered in place when I removed it and the thin blue wire initially. And unfortunately, when I replaced everything the digital display did not come back.
