I had one go out in my       Falcon. If that's the problem, you could either buy a new one (very       expensive - try Best Elec.) or if you're more mechanically inclined you       could hack in a PC power supply (cheaper, but harder fix). Just be aware       that the wire colors aren't exactly the same between the two. If I       remember correctly (and I may not) the yellow and blue wires are the       same voltage, but reverse polarity between the two. I didn't find this       out until it was too late and had to replace a violently exploded       transistor from my Falcon's sound system. Very exciting! Fortunately,       that was the worst damage that was done.              Mike Freeman              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
