Suggestion: call a board called OUTER CITY limits.
Leave ken (sysop) some feedback. Im sure he can fix it or tell
you what can be done for it. He has most parts and manuals..
If he has time you maybe can persuade him to work on it via
mail and have it sent back to you. His rates are very reasonable.
I had him do 3 1050s for me and he does good work.
