I must have rebuilt 1000 of those PIP boards, often having to use fine filament wire to repair corroded traces caused by the SMD caps. I had a couple of 35MX1's which were the 1993 version of yours.

I would volunteer to work on it, but I'm really tied up with some big projects for the rest of the summer. You can call Bob at Harvey's TV in West LA and tell him Charles referred you. (310) 559-6700. He's usually there from 12 noon to about 8 PM weekdays except Friday, when he leaves earlier. He's the best MGA tech, and I'm sure he can take care of it for you. He's near the 405 & 10 Fwys. Shop has been there since 1936, and Bob has owned it since '79. It's just about the last shop still in business in that area. Bob belongs to the Mitsubishi factory network, but he refused the factory authorization since they take months & months to pay for warranty work, and also they breathe down your neck about what type of equipment you must work on.
