Hi Pete, Well done on that catch. First thing to do is carefully remove ane replace all PCBs and socketed ICs. I personally like to use a WD-40 pen on the edge connector fingers. Some use De-Oxit or similar products. Don't use anything with silicone. This process cures most storage and shipping faults. I routinely open and check shipped instruments for loose PCBs before even powering them on. Robert G8RPI.

This one makes fan noises the yellow trigger/level LEDs light up but the LEDs controlled buy the CPU don't. One segment of one digit flashes when the power switch is hit. Both were advertised as "Power Up". But since both are complete and look fairly clean, not really complaining. Both look and smell like they have been sat in a garage or basement for a long long time. Anyone ID this language ? https://picasaweb.google.com/111617808980322733757/2nd5370B#5571535424740151714 on the top cover Hopefully will get some time at the end of the month to see what is wrong with them. -pete _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
