My BBS machine, a Plus (beige) finally blew a component on the Power supply. the Machine still runs, Boots, etc, however, video is reduced to a thin vertical line in the middle of the screen. What blew, and can I replace it myself? (I am competent enough to replace components, I just can't "read" circuit boards to figure our which capacitor has leaked). -- "It takes three to limbo, and one of them has to go down." "That which does not kill me had better be able to run damn fast." "He who dies with the most toys, is, nonetheless, still dead." "That sounds about as appealing as french-kissing a Lamprey."

Take a close look at C1 on the power supply. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chriss Koch Ampex Video Systems Corp., 725 Wooten Rd., Colo Spgs, CO 80915 UUCP: uunet!ampex!soul!ckoch SCORPION BBS 719.637.1458 (sysop) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
