Not sure what manual or instructions you are using for tuning the Micor.
I use the manual from Mot and the Mot test set although one can use a
voltmeter. I find a analog meter better. You need to follow the

Spread a lot of moth balls (camphor) around the site,
inside the racks, around the perimeter, etc. These do
evaporate after a while so you'll have to add more in

I got my MASTR-III because it had a fairly large rat problem. The
urine actually corroded through a trace on the SAS board and there are
still areas where the solder mask has been disolved off. It took a
whole bottle of 409 and a couple of hours of scrubing.
Then you can use them as fishing weights! Is that politically correct?
