Repair Tips
- Persistent key calibration (tuning) errors are usually fixed by reconnecting the interior connecting cable.
- Problems with the cold solder connections can disable the vacuum fluorescent display; this is remedied by resoldering.
- Since the ROM chips were in sockets—sometimes after a couple years, the unit would fail to boot, and give strange characters on the display. Simply opening the unit and reseating the two ROM chips will fix this defect.

Famous quotes containing the words repair and/or tips:
“Billboards, billboards, drink this, eat that, use all manner of things, everyone, the best, the cheapest, the purest and most satisfying of all their available counterparts. Red lights flicker on every horizon, airplanes beware; cars flash by, more lights. Workers repair the gas main. Signs, signs, lights, lights, streets, streets.”
—Neal Cassady (1926–1968)
“A new idea is rarely born like Venus attended by graces
More commonly it’s modeled of baling wire and acne.
More commonly it wheezes and tips over.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
