This is a very common problem... basically the fan blows directly down the chassis onto the front panel area where a large dust bunny builds its nest. The switches are gold plated leaf springs that slide on a gold plated circuit board. They are open to the environment and collect all sort of dust and schmutz.
If you need to troubleshoot the unit, I have a few extender card kits left... $30+shipping for the three board set. Two 44-pin boards are used to extend a card from the mainframe and there is a 36 (?) pin card that can be used with the front panel or oscillator buffer card.. ------------------- > One other observation, probably related: After powerup it took several vigorous switch activations of the COM/SEP switch before the thing swung into action at all _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
