RE: 6100 LV issues

Before we came up with the LV2000 solution, I use to replace those parts
all the time.
I had one tempest I had replaced the LV parts 5 or 6 times (this is what
prompted the development on the LV2000)
Ever since then I have never had a problem with a Low Voltage section
(unless it was one I hadn't upgraded yet).
It is possible to beef up the LV section, but even then if something
else goes wrong, it will usually also take out that section.
The LV2000 has over-current protection and will shut down instead of
self-destructing.

No offense intended, as I respect the opinions of several of the people
who
have replied...

but what in the world did all of you do before the LV2000 existed? I
think
Brian's desire to not go that route is a legitimate and valid one.
LV2000's
certainly are not a necessity for a reliable WG 6100. Surely there are
some
folks who are willing to offer their experiences with repairing the
original
LV section. Fortunately, all of mine (so far) have been fairly easy
fixes,
so I'm not of much help on it.

Here's hoping some people will step forward with the kind of info we
used to
see here in regards to keeping these monitors going.
