I have had both my 64 and 1541 repaired, and both times, RCA gave me the most expensive "over the phone"rr estimate. It appears that RCA does "board swaps", and doesn't acyually fix YOUR board. There are many independent "approved by Commodore" repair shops that charge alot less than RCA. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Lowrey "So it goes, so it goes, so it goes, so it goes.
