Last Chance for a System 3

[bgadow]

Thanks, all! I replaced that cap and turns out I guessed right on the ratings-found a remnant of the old one. Anyway, buttoned it back up and tried it for the first time myself. It powers up okay but shuts off after about 30 seconds. If you push the power button twice it will come back on and run for another 20-30 seconds. Nothing obvious getting hot. I then realized that this set has a timer, for turning it on-off. A-ha! So, I played with that...no dice. I even unhooked the switches that seem to control that, same thing.

Findm, I can't find a model number on this anywhere. The label on the back cover is faded to oblivion. I'll check in the light of day for a possible chassis number somewhere. I'll give it a few more days, if we can't come up with a solution guess I'll junk it. Chad, I'd be glad to send you those boards for cost of shipping. I'd at least like to be able to tell the owner that somebody got some use out of this. I might have some NOS/good used boards-let me know what numbers you need, if you get a chance. I could toss them in as well.
