Default ERA Microreader

Hi,
I've just dug out my ERA microreader (mk 2) after many years hidden in a cupboard, tried switching it on - nothing - replaced fuse a click and one of the RTTY lights came on but nothing, no boot up message on the screen, absolutely dead.

I assume that ERA have long dissapeared so does anyone have a circuit for one of these or know what the standard gotchas are for them.

Or, is it just fit for the skip?

Robin

I've got one of these in the shack so if you need to compare voltages etc with a good one let me know.

Thanks guys, I'm going to have a quick look round it and try and work out whether it's worth starting.
