Just have one more . . .

comment. I'd hoped that you would have seen the underlying msg in MENU#24. Maybe you did and have chosen to ignore it? Maybe because of ASR, you might think that this may not apply to you?

If you are going to replace it and, this is important, most likely you will not need to replace it again, then why not have the unit refurbished (at Beckmann or wherever) or spring for a new one?

The underlying theme in that Menu#24 is the problem with the Ref Pot; it CAN'T be repaired and, as you saw, many who have undertaken the re-wiring of the unit, have not had success even though the wiring was done well.

Now, so far, the ones that had them refurbished have sent good reports. So at least maybe consider that avenue??

My LAST $0.02.
