I don't believe you were interested in *selling* it, you wanted it
reverse engineered as the "David the Man" has done. It didn't have time
then (and it's even worse now!).

So now I have a chance at owning one as does every well else, way to go
David!

I was just quoting Joe, the technician that used to work at
Cinematronics. It was his job to fix all the CCPU returns. He said
when it worked it could pinpoint things pretty fast, but it only covered
80% of the board, and that it wasn't the end all to CCPU repair.

Probably one of the cases Joe was talking about...
