Folk can hardly avoid the "Sticky" section whenever they open these pages. We can see that "swordholder" had a thread(now closed) back on 1st May 2010 (nigh-on 11 years ago) on VCM163 Faults. Apart from heaps of great advice, he proposed a dedicated VCM 163 Section which could help owners over many years. But it was never taken up. Likewise, for several years now I've proposed a similar Section for the lesser AVO VCM's & CT160's, but zilch !
So this thread has taken up 8 pages, much to the determent of Martin's & David's wrists.
But there are already presidents accepted by Paul & his Moderators - the giant "Mullard HSVT Card" project, and the AVO Multimeter project. Both have ran for years & never closed !
VCM163's are just about the most expensive bit of kit folk can aspire to. So if the two pcb's & one or two other components are now threatening their continuing excellent service to forum members - lets get everyone singing from the same hymnsheet in one super thread, whilst also avoiding more & more repetitive threads being raised.
"SOR" - - Save Our Wrists" !
