If you 8662A has gone "bang" yet, replace the electrolytic on the three boards is a good starting place. Once it goes bang you will have a to start replacing solid-state devices. Rob, NC0B -Original Message- From: time-nuts [mailto:time-nuts-boun...@febo.com] On Behalf Of KA2WEU---

Ulrich To your first question I am unaware of anyone that repairs them. Though there are many places that might, typical cal and repair shops. I have a sick 8662 also (age) and need to dig in. At least I know the board and the most likely issue. The yahoo user group has a lot of useful details.
