Also, congrats on getting a nice clean picture! You're going to get that machine back in perfect working order in no time!

And thank you to intric8 for the Slack-invite. I'm on there now

Who, me? A very good point, but did you see where I say "swap the NiCad charge current resistor with a schottky diode, a new quartz trimmer, and install a low-profile 2032 coin-cell socket so you've got a proper working RTC. And since I'm a bit OCD, I use a GPS-disciplined oven controlled oscillator as a lab reference to calibrate the RTC."Christian wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 10:54 pmI think one of the diodes or a resistor needs to be removed so that the A3000 doesn't charge the Lithium cell when turned on. I forgot which one. This is not necessary with the battery adapter boards which have an inline diode or when using an ultracapacitor (as I do) in place of the battery.
