Xpantastic!

Yes. I had to swap the boards in order to do that, because space is  
limited.

Yes, correct. The flat cable.

Yes it is, but doesn´t the tuning procedures resides on the processor  
board? If so, there has to be some communication between the processor  
board and the voice cards while doing the tuning.
The M-12 always tells me that the top board fails tuning. If I swap  
the boards, it is still the top board that fails tuning. So depending  
on the position, the voice board either fails, or is perfectly in  
tune. That tells me that there is nothing wrong with the voice boards,  
but I could be mistaken in this.

I have taken out and re-positioned many of the ICs on the processor  
board (I didn´t move the RAM og ROM ICs, because the auto-test told me  
that these were fine), and did notice that some were a bit loose.  
Reseating them all didn´t change anything, though, but I haven´t  
tested if all the ICs are OK.
