Default Re: Memories and other stories from Pye etc PMR engineers.

Also, early A200 had a tantalum rated at 16v across the dc supply line on the pcb somewhere. (Top edge, if the PA o/p pair were to the right with lid off). Expected burnt blob often found inside. On sight, I changed it to a 25V. Also, the tx/rx relay often had intermittent contacts, just like the Olympic and reporter.
