Well, it serves me right. Only last week, I say it takes about four to
six hours to do a battery cleanup job. Then Scott tells me he has the
board from hell which has taken him 20 hours so far.
So what do I get this week? A board from hell. No, thats not right. I
have two boards from hell. The corrosion moved up the earthing wire and
had attacked the right hand pot board as well. 12 tracks on that boards
were wiped out. The corrosion on the assigner board, although thinly
spread, has affected and wiped out the 74LS08s, the 4011s, the RAM chip,
all the 4042s, the uproc socket and four of the main LFO resistors. This
is the worst I have yet seen. I guess as time goes by they will get
worse and worse.
Sad thing is that this was serviced in 1990 and the battery wasn't
replaced. If they only knew...
